This week on the Artist Academy Podcast, I’m bringing back a replay episode with Marilena Madio from 2021. It was so memorable that I had to share it again—now, over three years later. I originally reached out to Marilena to chat about her wall decal product she began creating for customers but was caught off guard by how much mural wisdom she had to share.

Marilena has been in the mural game longer than I have and is such a joy to talk shop with. Last year, I watched as she had a video go mega-viral, gaining tens of thousands of followers as a result. It was so well-deserved!

Lately, she’s partnered with Zibra, a mural brush company, to create her own branded set of mural brushes, which she kindly sent me to try out recently. They are worth all the hype!

I hope you’re enjoying these old interviews I’m bringing back for the fourth quarter to give you some extra audio motivation as we all work through what’s usually the busiest time of year for artists. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Marilena Madio!
