I am a retired interior designer and self taught digital artist.

In my early years of art she dabbled in mixed media, and my art dining room table was full of paper items, accents, glue, sicciors, mod podge, sealer, acrylic paint and paint brushes and all that goes in to mixed media creating. I was hooked until the day

I opened a blog "Treasure Barn" and joined the blogging world and discovered a beautiful thing called digital art.

 

After joining three of the most popular digital art sites out there, ZNE, Creative Souls and Digital Whisper I was so inspired I just had to learn this wonderful new way of creating art. Photoshop was my passion and I was determined to learn it. Having a "computer geek" friend was a bonus because that friend installed Photoshop CS3 on my computer. Now, how do 

I even get a photo up on the Photoshop program to work on?

 

That is when I started asking questions of my many friends on all the digital art sites I had joined. I got so many tips and answers but somehow I needed some hands on training. That is when I ask a friend in my community to show me how to make an image look like you could see right through it. To me, at the time, that was the main thing I wanted to learn. My friend sat down and showed me how to bring a photo in to Photoshop and how to use the opacity feature and how to cut away part of an image. That was all it took. I was off and running and have been creating digital art since 2008. I am still learning everyday with the help of online classes and friends . I am still a member of Creative Souls and I am now the owner of Digital Whisper.

​

I am a member of Photoshop Artistry and have had my art published in the Living The Photo Artistic Life magazine, Issues 9, 10, 25, 27.

 

I live in a small community on the Oregon coast with my husband and two Rhodesian Ridgeback/Mastiff dogs. The mother of three grown and marreid Sons and Grandmother of seven Grandchildren and one Great Granddaughter.
