Get to Know the Artists: Barbara De Pirro

Tell me about you create.

I am a Painter, Photographer, Multi-disciplined Eco-Artist, Teacher and Lecturer.

How long have you been in business?

I’ve been a self supporting artist now for 10 years. Prior to that, I worked in a commercial design field for 25 years, but always creating and selling my own art on the side.

Where do you sell your creations? Are there any upcoming craft fairs/art shows that you’ll be participating in this year?
