LaurArt Experience and Expertise
Over a 25 year career in publications, I have accumulated skills in Art Direction, Illustration, Graphic Design, Digital Art and Photography, Electronic Publishing and Web Design. I am comfortable and conversant with print and web publishing, with both traditional and digital skills. I have worked as part of a graphics staff and freelance. I have continued to produce paintings, drawings and greeting card art independently throughout my career.
