Episode 558: Listen as I chat with Spanish painter, muralist artist, fashion designer, & influencer, Jonay Di Ragno. I met Jonay at a group exhibition that he was in, in Charlotte. He was so FAB, I knew I had to have him on the pod. We talk about what inspires him, why he doesn’t limit himself to one thing…and how he juggles it all.
“Your presence does not need to be large to be seen, is the intensity of an honesty of that light….like a spark of NEON.” Friend, Art Connoisseur, HAZEL
If you are in the Charlotte-area, you definitely do NOT want to miss Jonay’s exclusive presentation by The Charlotte Fashion Collective…
