About Atelier Photo Graphic Design
My earliest memories are of my father or my uncle photographing me, smiling, not smiling, head titled this way and that. Very often my father would take the photograph and create an oil painting. I was his living color wheel assisting in mixing the various colors as he was color blind. You would never know from looking at his work. I have always loved to draw, paint and photograph whatever didn't get out of the way quickly enough.
After many years of designing print ads, forms and web sites as a sideline and hobby, I thought it was time to actually do what I love full time. I decided to head back to school and actually put "paper" behind my work. As a working full time mom it was not a decision to make lightly, but it was fueled by passion and a love for what I do. I can honestly say I truly love what I do.
