I am a Southern California local and a proud momma of three. I am a watercolor artist, surface pattern and graphic designer. I work primarily with Photoshop and Illustrator. A few years ago, I’d never thought of calling myself an artist, let alone being commissioned to work on several pieces of watercolor and acrylic paintings for private clients.
Having a degree in Computer Science and having worked in the IT corporate environment help me understand the pressure and stress that come with it and how important it is that we find a way to destress and relax. As a young computer analyst, I appreciated the precision and consistency of numbers and codes, but when I became a mother, I learned to improvise and embrace the whimsical, artistic, and spontaneous. I have grown to thoroughly love both its meticulousness and creative freedom, both of which I could not truly appreciate without my years as a programmer and mother. Even before I ever touched a paintbrush, I was always able to find a way to do this through various crafts, reading, etc. But now that I have been painting and working with Adobe Creative Suites for several years, I realize how calming, relaxing and beneficial these activities can be.
