Let me begin, by saying thank you so much for choosing me, as the “Artist of The Moment” here on The Arts Site! You currently live in Maryland USA, did you grow up there as well? You can say, it all kinda started, growing up just outside, and working in the city of Philadelphia, where I often toured historic sites for fun. Then, moving to a place so full of untouched, rural American history, as Cecil County Maryland, along the Susquehanna River, 20 plus yrs. ago, I have developed a passion, for the beauty only time can give to things. I went to vo-tech for commercial art in 10th grade, in the early 1970's. After finishing all my schooling, I worked as a commercial artist in Philadelphia. Back then, computers were kept on a separate floor than the artists offices & were 6' tall with spinning things on the front!! We had no idea how they got our work in there, and we didn’t know we had to care!!! Plus, way back then, we thought there would never be need for an artist to type!! I left for what I thought would be a few years, to raise my kids &...you all know what happened to the business! So, everything computer I’ve learned since, has been self taught. Most recently web design, and image animation. Though, hands on arts and crafting, for me...is lifetime! I’ve been a starving artist/bartender - which I did love too, becoming quite well known in my tri-state area as “magic” the Bartender. Or, “The Magic Bartender”, which has stuck ever since. Other than a few years teaching crafting for Tandy Leather Company, until they closed their store, and teaching/demonstrating/hosting art & craft parties privately now and then, I haven’t been able to do something creative for a living since I had my kids. Just a little here and there but, not enough to pay the bills. It is my dream someday though!….... Continue reading Susan's interview..... Visit Susan's Profile.... View Susan's Artwork.... New Art On The Arts Site   The Art Market New to The Arts Site is The Art Market. Everyone can use The Art Market by setting up their market and advertising any art related items for sale. The market can also be used to advertise for any items you might want or you can even advertise items to exchange. You can advertise any item you want to in the market, whether it's a new piece of art you have just finished or an old easel you don't use anymore, just as long as it's art related. Why not sign in now and set up your market stall! Art Contest The Arts Site is looking for a new header logo and we would like to use a piece of art created by one of our members. The piece of art will be used in our header, and will be placed on every page of The Arts Site and will also be used on all e-newsletters and email.
