Vivian Wu, owner of the new Etsy Store SPENDOR OF WONDER joins us to discuss her imaginative DIGITAL ART she creates and sells on that site (adding her fanciful prints to mugs, t-shirts, etc).  Where she takes a famous painting like Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night and reimagines it with other creatures added to the frame like cats or dogs. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create this digital alteration (or hallucination!) with just enough whimsical elements to make it fun and unique.  Guaranteed to put a smile on your face).  Which is what her local Small Business Development Center did for her when her team there helped her turn this dream into an actual business. 

Providing another example of how AI can become a new medium for frustrated painters like Vivian.  Making this microbiologist's artistic dreams come true! #digitalart #ai #artificialintelligence #etsy #etsyshop #entrepreneur #startup #onlinebusiness #sbdc #octalkradio
