“I am co-chair for the 4th Sammamish Art Fair, an annual art event sponsored by the City of Sammamish and 4Culture, which took place at the City Hall on the 9th - 10th October 2010. The group of local artists taking part were jury selected to maintain the highest quality of artwork and to ensure a good variety of different art mediums.
As a resident of Sammamish and a friend of the Art Fair, Elena very graciously put forward the proposal to produce individual video interviews of the participating artists. This proved to be a fantastic resource for us, and became the platform for our pre-fair publicity drive with the local newspapers, as we turned the occasion into an artists meet the press event.
Elena was highly professional in her approach to the project, and interacted with the artists in such a way to make them comfortable and relaxed, and the result was that she was able to capture some wonderful personal accounts of the artists process and inspiration.
On behalf of all the artists, I would like to thank Elena for her contribution to the Fair, and I would certainly recommend her not only for the professionalism she displayed but for her kind, thoughtful and fun approach to the project.
