Cuban Artistic Creations Hudson, New York
Posted by Julio Hernandez-Miyares under Columbia County, New York, All About Work, Cuban Folk Art

A raw view of incipient Cuban Artistic Creations workshop, Hudson’s latest and soon to be most exciting artistic endeabor. Principal Maria Victoria de Bernard, famous Cuban Folk Artist and sole proprietor of Columbia Artistic Cleaning is in the midst of setting up the workshop. The premise is simple. Find furniture of all types throughout Columbia County, usually at yard or barn sales, rehabilitate them with a Cuban Artistic touch and then sell them at lower prices then the outrageous prices for similar non-styled furniture found in Hudson, New York.
Ms de Bernard, who long ago swore off working for the man especially when it meant being told what to think, what to do and how to do it is in the process of lining up investors in her art business. The initial funding will be devoted to securing the necessary wood-working equipment to be installed in the Workshop as well as other incidentals as marketing, publicity, her own Web-Site and initial stock of furniture in need of re-furbishing.
