I live in North Georgia right on the Ga. ~ Tn. Border, about 5 miles outside Chattanooga Tn. I travel quite a bit to do shows including South Florida(which is a further drive then it sounds about 14 hours), Chicago, New York and Michigan.
 
I do primarily art shows and sell my work as such. My least expensive piece in the booth right now is $90 and my most expensive in $1250 and to answer before you ask I have sold cuttings for that much. I mat and frame everything in the booth in nice frames and can charge more then twice what I would in a cheap frame. So far this year my designs Silverton, Colorado and Bedded Down have been the two best selling pieces for me.
 
When it comes to succeeding at a show it is very important to 1 pick a good show and 2 present your work in the best light possible. I just had some photos taken of my booth and will will post them here soon. Hope that answered your question, feel free to e-mail if you have more detailed questions I'll be happy to help however I can.
 
Happy Scrolling!
