In the 18 years since Kathy and Patrick Murillo began their craft businesses, their passion for creating “happy art” has gained national recognition and today encompasses numerous product lines. Better known as the “Crafty Chica,” Kathy has developed a devoted following through her nationally syndicated arts and crafts column, books, television appearances and cruises. The couple runs two Web sites – ChicanoPopArt.com and CraftyChica.com – where they sell the more than 100 pieces they create each month in their home studio.
Their most popular works are custom-made shadow boxes filled with bright-colored art, glitter and high-gloss finishes that depict room interiors. Although they help others incorporate crafty chic into their lives, the two artists haven’t had the time to decorate their own home in their trademark style.
