2009 Limited Edition Print     EnlargeFor 28 years, Thunderbird Artists has played a very important role in uniting gifted artists with patrons across the world. A family run business, Judi Combs and daughter Denise Colter (pictured) have worked side by side over 18 years and feel it has been a pleasure and honor knowing and working with so many talented artists. Judi’s husband, Roger, sons Bret and Mike, also work the festivals making it truly a "Family Affair". Speaking of families, Esteban began performing in Thunderbird Artists’ festivals back in 1991. The Thunderbird Artists family will unite with Esteban and his two daughters, Teresa and Stephanie, for a reunion and to kick off the season at the Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival, October 31st-November 2nd.

Last year (2007) the ArtFair SourceBook rated the January Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival as #9 in the nation. This year, this same festival has been ranked as the #1 Fine Art and Crafts events in the Southwest by Larry Harris. The Harris List is, by far, the most discriminating list available to fine artists and craftsmen. This means that this particular
