Great New Artists

OK so obviously I’m being a little tongue in cheek with that title but I do think I’m pretty great. I thought since I am an artist why deprive myself of a little profile action in my own blog?

So where to begin? Well let’s start with why I like art: I have been studying art for as long as I can remember because I grew up with parents who were artists. Both my parents have music degrees and were music teachers before I was born. My mother was also a brilliant (well, is) painter in traditional media like acrylics and pastels. So I have had quite the number of years of training for someone my age. I started proper art school studying Visual Communications in 2005 (I will finish in Dec. 2008) which everyone assumes has something to do with sign language (it’s mostly graphic design).

I started studying acting in high school and have performed on stage in plays and concerts including last Christmas when I was in the choir at one of the Point of Grace Winter Wonderland shows in Greensboro, NC.

I have since focused my attention on being a freelance graphic designer full time including running my own online fashion design gallery Future Tense Fashion My homepage Future Tense features the fashion shop and an artist resources page which is always being updated with new links as well as the RSS feed of my other blog at Wordpress.com.

For now I am seeing where my art takes me and plan to start making and selling brushes and textures for Photoshop artists as well as adding a portfolio to my online website network. I also plan to travel to China next year with my church before studying for a Master’s Degree.
