Featured Business: StudioPM Guided Art Socials :: Small Business Saturday #shopsmall


Featured Business: Studio PM - Johnstown, PA
Coordinators: Natalie Poldiak Cheek and Karen Mesaros
Product: Guided Art Socials (all skill levels welcome)
Facebook Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/StudioPM.Johnstown
Email: studiopmjohnstown@yahoo.com

The story behind the business...

Natalie and Karen met when working together on a gallery show at the Venue of Merging Arts (V.O.M.A.), Johnstown, PA. Two artists trying to fulfill their creative calling found themselves in a brainstorming conversation one day (having each their own program concept) only to find out their ideas were identical! On that day StudioPM was born. Natalie is a fine artist and certified art educator. Karen is an artist, visual communications, graphic design and social media/marketing professional who has also worked in higher education as an art and design instructor.

Why StudioPM? The letter "P" represents Poldiak and "M" for Mesaros. And although Natalie (a recent newlywed) is now Mrs. Natalie Cheek, Karen is strict on image branding and refuses to change the logo.

Featured Business: Clementine (Designer Jewelry) :: Small Business Saturday #shopsmall

Clementine - Designer Jewelry
Clementine - Designer Jewelry

First in a series of small businesses campaign leading up to Small Business Saturday (November 30, 2013).


Featured Business: Clementine
Owner: Alisa Pavick Barnhart
Product: Handmade Designer Jewelry 

The story behind the business...

"After the sudden death of my husband in 2006, I began to bead. It gave me something to obsess on, therapy of sorts. As I gained more skills, I began giving my pieces as gifts. Folks loved my work with requests to buy. 

Why the name "Clementine?" It's a nod to my late husband, Marty, who enjoyed those little citrus fruits. He would request that I bring him home a box of "oh my darlin's" from the market.....just my way of subtlety incorporating him into this venture."
