About
Trained in traditional and computer illustration/design. Strengths are accuracy, detail and color. I prefer mixed media for hand work. Love working with a extra fine point ball point pen for black and white drawings, adding very subtle detail with graphite. My favorite medium is mixed water colour and colored pencil. I work best with organic, botanical or wildlife related subject matter but I love doing portraits. I don't miss deadlines. I am comfortable with a camera and shoot my own reference, or images for layouts. Adobe Creative Suite is my friend, I am familiar with Microsoft Suite as well. My Graphic Design work leans towards elegant and simple. My Background includes prepress, silkscreen, and Administrative Assistance.
