Artissima
The Blog of ArtiFactory Studio
Welcome to the fledgling blog of ArtiFactory Studio."Artissima".I hope is to present "Artissima" as a platform to offer information, ideas and inspiration through the medium of Decorative Painting, as well as arts and culture in general. I look forward to sharing with YOU: readers, fellow artists, small business people, and the world in general.
I was honored to be interviewed by the incomparable Rebecca Parsons and Lyna Farkas of Artistically Speaking Radio (part of Blog Talk Radio) on March 7, 2010. I hope that the art and business ideas we discuss will be of support to YOU! Other ASR shows may also be of interest.. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/artisticallyspeaking/2010/03/07/creative-entrepreneur-debra-disman
