Sunday morning and the television was on the local news. I was sipping coffee and really paying no attention, the sound keeps me company.
I hear about a sand sculpture artist that will be in Carefree, Arizona, working on his newest project. That information alone was enough for me to take a road trip. North of the town of Scottsdale and world away from the hubbub of Phoenix I find the Carefree Art & Wine Festival.

I pay my three dollar entrance fee and am handed a glass of wine to accompany me as I stroll down the art walk.

Local artisans showcase work in different mediums; film, bronze, oil based paints, watercolors, clay….

Carefree represents these artists in fine fashion.
