Barbara Wurden Wurden expresses her artistic talent through three creative disciplines. She is a fine artist, decorative painter and video producer. Wurden received a bachelor’s degree in fine art from a Minnesota State University in 1985. Soon afterwards, she moved to Southern California to pursue her passion as an artist. Wurdens’ fine art on canvas is where she uses her creative energies in a mystical manner. She paints abstractly or abstractly coupled with realism. Her paintings reflect vibrant colors and lively gestured brush stokes interconnected with the use of quiet sensual blending of colors.

To support her painting habit, she started a decorative painting business soon after moving to California. Wurden, owner of Faux Fun Inc, has collaborated with designers and homeowners leaving behind her creative signature in homes and commercial business throughout Southern California.  

Friends and clients loved to watch her work and they frequently inquired about the processes. Consequently, Wurden decided to create an instructional video to show them the steps.  The idea blossomed into the ten title Faux Fun DVD series. She does much of the production on her own as she thrives on the artistic challenges of setting up interesting camera angles and delivering clear and inspiring scripts.

In contrast to her faux painting instructional videos, Wurden creates and produces home improvement diy videos. It’s a home improvement show with a cougar-rageous twist and she tags herself The Handy Goddess. She’s a diva of demolition and design and has even managed to land her face on the Jay Leno Show where she pitched her show to America.
