Arte y Mano

August 14, 2008
Today we also visited with Martha Pardo, the creative force behind Arte y Mano, which produces charming small painted images on silk. Martha (on right), shown here with her assistant Lizette started painting when she was 6, and eventually started selling her work. She found that people loved it, and sales made it possible to work her way through school. Eventually, she started her own company and now sells her images worldwide. We are delighted to feature her work (including small paintings, bookmarks, cards and other items) at Chiripa. [Note: products from Arte Y Mano are not available on the web. Please visit the shop to see our current selection.]
