The first artist whose work stopped me at the Plaza Art Fair: Suzy Scarborough.Beth Partin's photos, Kansas City photos, Plaza Art Fair, Country Club Plaza

I will remember Betsy Youngquist‘s art for its detailed beadwork and eerie quality. I had the idea that food writer Denveater would like it, especially Penguin Boy. Beth Partin's photos, Kansas City photos, Country Club Plaza, Plaza Art FairI thought some of her pieces were stunning, but I have to confess: I don’t think I could have them in my house. If I’m alone in the house, and there is a statue on a table, I will start thinking it’s looking at me. Same for a painting with a face looking out. Nevertheless, I loved this pelican.

    Dana, I’m glad you liked it. She had even more eerie pieces, but all were amazingly detailed.
