From the first time I began surfing the net, I wanted to learn how to create web pages. A friend, Steve Girault, taught me the basics. As a birthday gift, I received Front Page and Paint Shop Pro and I was hooked. I heard it stated, "When looking for a career, choose something that you love and would do for free and then make money doing it." This is the way I feel about web designing. I must say, I love working with graphics most of all. There's nothing like looking at a white screen, which I call my canvas, then add color, shape and effect and watch your "painting" come to life. Besides creating graphics for web sites, I designed backgrounds for projectors, clipart for invitations and name tags, logos and signature tags.  I also created slide shows for weddings, anniversary's, etc.
