Indy Artists, a public service, has done more for my art career in 2025 than any paid ad or social media campaign I’ve done on any major global online platform. I’VE SOLD MY FIRST ORIGINAL PAINTING! #artist

Here’s a close up of my latest work for those who missed it. This is “last day at the state fair”. I was inspired by an award-winning sunflower at the Indiana state fair who absolutely had HAD IT by the last day. I feel you sunflower… I feel you. #art #feelings #flowers #statefairs #painting

The think I love the most about signing up to be a vendor at events is hearing people talk up my art to me. How beautiful it is, the stories behind it, how I make it, what they love about it. It’s such a good experience. Thank you 10 East Arts Hub #Art #10EastArts #Painter #Artist #BskyArt #event
Acrylic painting of a grasshopper on paper. The painting is on a table with a Halloween-themed tablecloth. 4 acrylic paintings by the artist Daniel Figac. This demonstrates his typical booth setup at an art fair. This is a behind-the-scenes view of the artist Daniel Figac at an Art Fair selling his work. This is a linocut block carving of a raccoon on a fence at night, pressed in blue ink on a purple cotton t-shirt.

Reintroducing my paintings to my new followers. This painting is from a photo I shot in 2018. I spent the whole day just floating on the lake. I went back up there this weekend and I went for a different vibe. #art #painting #photography #nature #upnorth #ArtSky #puremichigan #higginslake

I started my career as a professional artist in 2024, but I have been creating my entire life. What inspired me was a trip to India for a wedding. I was inspired by the people, wildlife, and colors of the subcontinent. This was the first piece I created upon my return. #art #painting #wildlifeart
