I'll be in booth 626 at the Tephra Fine Arts Festival in the Reston Town Center this weekend!
I checked out all their artists online, and here are my top picks, which I will confirm on Saturday!
I liked Lauren deSerres' art (she's in booth 925) - she notes that she "is a mixed media painter who creates whimsical imagery of nature and animals to create stories addressing the human experience and our impact on the world."
Ning Lee in booth 909 is a wondrous landscape painter.
Matthew Miller in booth 510 is easily the best trompe l'oeil painter in the outdoor fine arts field - his work is simply spectacular and he'd be my Best in Show winner at any show!

Kristin Moger's highly sophisticated animal-themed work is also notable (in booth 935)! She writes:
My meticulously patterned ink art reflects my love of nature, biology, geology, art history, ethnic art from around the world and textiles. I notice patterns in everything, from grande to microscopic. I harken back to these loves as I draw my joy and compassion-infused art.
