I am an artist and a mother of two beautiful children. I have been creating art for about ten years now. I paint, using acrylics because they are my favorite.I use alot of texture in my paintings because I feel that it gives a more realistic effect. I also enjoy creating custom painted furniture and drawing. I am in the process of learning how to use the computer to create art but have to admit that I am old school and prefer to create it with a pencil or a brush.But that does not mean that I can't do the graphics on the computer. I am currently getting my BA in Multimedia and Graphic Design at DeVry University and am just about done!!!
