" I'm no oil painting, I know, but I thought you might like an insight into my background and skills to give you an idea of who you will be liaising with if you did decide to order a picture for yourself ".

I have always loved drawing from an early age so it was no big surprise that I went to Art College. I trained at Portsmouth College of Art & Design (now known as the University of Portsmouth) in the field of Technical Illustration for 4 years in the 'old' style of illustration (i.e. no computers) and achieved an HND, so I have all the original skills such as ~ Airbrushing, painting in gouache, watercolours and drawing with an attention to detail.

Since the development of computers, however, I feel that I have mastered DTP too, using Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop/ ImageReady, Adobe Acrobat and Quark Express on Mac and PC machines.
My 'Website' is an example of this type of design work.
