Angela Adam Finally, my website is live!

I invite everyone to check out my new website at: www.angelasfineart.ca Getting this done was quite an accomplishment for me because I am a Graphic Designer by trade who had limited, (make that NO) knowledge of how to do digital design. I can design anything for Print with expert ability, but if you'd asked me to create you a web page, I would have looked at you like a deer in the headlights. So, I "self-taught" myself how to create a site, and am pretty happy with the results given I have no… Continue

. I love art and sketching however, unfortunately, my artistic skills have never been reinforced or even tolerated, luckily I did not allow it to completely dissolve. I channeled it into my scientific skills...by sketching the heart muslces or the skeleton. If only I could find those sketches I would post them in a heart beat. Maybe when my hectic life calms down a bit, I shall resume my scientific sketching. In the mean time I have indulged my artistic appetite by researching artistic websites… Continue
