Pia Sjölin has been an independent artist since 1974. She has had a diverse career that includes such disciplines as glass blowing, fabric and textile design, fashion design, mural and faux painting, importing, exporting, and resale.
Now, Pia is bringing all of these talents and disciplines together as she begins her 4th business venture. Trying to eliminate the necessity of “matching” fabrics, wall papers, glass and other home decor items by creating entire sets based on the same patterns and looks, she is pushing all of her experience and skills to new horizons.

I thought this interview was really good. I thought her attitude about not looking at things that didnt work out as mistakes but just stepping stones. I am rethinking my approach to my illustration buisness after hearing this interview. Thanks

Rick! I had no idea you were listening to the show. Glad you liked it!
To our listeners, Rick is the father of Jason Bergman, one of my artist buddies when I was growing up. Rick is also the man who introduced me to several of life’s key pleasures, including The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Monty Python.
