About Me

Summary

I'm a graphic designer (specializing in print design and production), artist, mom, Photoshop pro and a teacher. I've worked as a graphic designer since before computers were the tool of choice. I paint, carve soapstone, work with clay, draw and make beaded jewellery and my goal is to help people know they are creative and can be artistic.



Specialties: Print and Web design, digital art, photo restoration, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Quark XPress. Acrylic painting, illustration, carving and sculpture, artistic creation and teaching
