Showcase & Discover Creative Work

My favorite media include, conventional watercolor painting, pen & ink drawing, digital photography & art that I can manipulate on the computer. In October 2012 I completed my ACA -Adobe Certified Associate-certification for Adobe Photoshop CS6. The last day of February 2013 I passed my Adobe ACE-Adobe Certified Expert- certification for Adobe Illustrator CS6.

I am in the process of creating new artwork for projects.

I'd love to be able to paint full time, so if anyone knows how I can do that :D....in the meantime, I am moving forward to re-enter the graphic arts/ publishing / design industry. In the mid 90's I completed a 30 week computer graphics course at Robert Morris College, with straight A's. However, I did not stay in the field as I stayed at home for several years to raise my children.

In 2010 we moved from Michigan to Chicagoland, so it's been a little crazy.
As a personal side note, I was involved in a restrictive religious group (otherwise known as a cult) for almost 2 decades. Because of this I have an interest in thought reform & cult related issues & how art can help in healing abuse. Read Less
