Hi and welcome to my website. This is the latest incarnation of my website. I've had one online in some form of another since about 1995 or so. This website is mainly a personal showcase of my art, hobbies and a little store where you buy my digi scrapbook and paper crafting downloads (coming soon).
I've been creating digital art in some form or another for just over 14yrs having started out by creating my own web graphics for my website. I'm self taught through years of trial and error playing in software such as Photoshop, Painter and Corel Draw as well as pawing through countless magazine articles, tutorials and "how to" books.
It has always been a great passion and just part of my need to be creative and put my hand to some kind of art. Both my parents are artists and it was my Dad that introduced me to the computer and internet, many moons ago, when he set up his own internet business and cafe (the first in London), with his then business partner.
More recently, when my kids "flew the nest", I studied multi-media art and design at the University of Kent where I also studied art history and advertising.
As well as being passionate about my work, computer and digital art, I love drawing, painting and crafting. Reading and listening to an eclectic selection of music is also part of my every day life.
I live with my husband, also an artist, in the south east corner of England.
