You can find my bio on the home page of this site.  I have always been an artist.  A number of years ago, life stepped in the way - I had to work and support family, so I did not have much time to advance my career in art.  Now life still tries to get in the way, but I keep jumping over those obstacles to get to my artistic side.  When the computer became a household item, I began scanning in my art into the computer and went back to college to take classes on web design.  The only thought in my mind was that I wanted to design a website where I could show off my art.  Little did I know that I would start a web design company.  I guess it was around the same time that I purchased Photoshop and Illustrator.  I was immediately taken with the new painting abilities Photoshop provided and couldn't stay away.  I took courses and started to realize that the very slick illustrations in magazines were all touched up using one of these new software programs, so I started playing around with the art I had scanned into my computer.  Wow! This opened all kinds of possibilities and provided me a way to send out print ready artwork.  Later I added as Wacom Tablet, so I could draw directly into the computer.  The next software that I would like to master is Corel Painter, but in the meantime I teach Photoshop to adults at the local Adult School and give an on-line Photoshop course.  You can see my website designs at http://www.temeanconsulting.com
