A little bit about Dennis Haynes....

I come from a very artistic family: music, healing, arts and gardening. My mother's side of the family is full of talented and self-expressed folks and I got to be in their world growing up. I've been creative ever since I can remember and have dabbled in many mediums.

My current holiday chapter was inspired by a Glitterville party hat at a store. I looked at it and thought to myself, "I can do that!" and I went to the craft store and bought the supplies. I sent photos of my creations to Glitterville and received very nice encouragement in return. That's all it took to continue creating and growing.

Since then, I've started collecting vintage Halloween decorations, which have fueled my imagination. My favorite part of being an artist is getting to know other artists and sharing tips, tricks, sources and marketing strategies. I have a community of like-minded people that inspire, awe, and encourage me. Producing Hallowbaloo in the Seattle area allows another level of community with other Halloween show producers and meeting lots of new artists and collectors. It makes life even sweeter!
