Hazleton Area Business Citizen Editor’s Desk Some great words are often associated with the description of a successful business: inspiration, achievement, fulfillment. Any business person who has experienced success can reflect on who or what inspired them to achieve their goals. Not much in life can provide that same fulfilled feeling as a successful business venture. Artistic pursuits are also associated with inspiration, achievement, and fulfillment. As varied as business is, so, too, is art. And, as with business, little else in life provides that same sense of fulfillment as a completed work of art. The similarities shared between business pursuits and artistic expression has become one of the themes of The Hazleton Area Business Citizen. Talent, intelligence, discipline, among many attributes, are abundant in both the business/professional and the artistic communities of Greater Hazleton. Miss Faberge, owner of Faberge Follies, is this month’s Interview subject. She exemplifies all these descriptive words, plus. An accomplished and gifted dancer, business provides Faberge the means to not only continue personally with her art, but also to share dance with others. Jeremy Petrachonis is an enthusiastic young artist, and a selection of his abstract works is featured this month. Enthusiasm is another great word which also can be associated with both business and art. The HABC is enthusiastic about the business and artistic communities in the Greater Hazleton Area.
