I just recently moved from Los Angeles, CA. to Charlotte, N.C. I worked in the apparel business as a print designer for the past 20 years. I primarily used Nedgraphics and Photoshop to some extent. I have been focused on my fine art this past year but would love to freelance using my print design skills. Here is a series of work I have done throughout the years. I am starting a new collection just for me that I call Vintage Withering flowers which I will show in another post.
I have finally discovered digital painting in Photoshop. idrawgirls.com has some great digital painting tutorials. The technique is so painterly, no airbrushing. It's a much more organic approach.
I am a California girl....well, I was born in Pittsburgh but moved to California in my early twenties and stayed for 30 years. I moved with my guy to Charlotte, NC in 2010 and had no idea what a life changing event was ahead of me. My current career as a print designer for the apparel business came to an abrupt end and I had to get my wits about me and figure out what I was going to do the rest of my life. I started painting and never stopped and now I am teaching. I love the creative process and I love sharing it. Life is sweet!!
