Annette Hovey Says: "As far back as I can remember I loved to draw and paint. The first sales of artwork I remember was when I was 13 and I was selling portraits of the kids in the neighbourhood for 25 cents. Then in high school I would do artwork mainly around Christmas time as gifts for other kids families and the price increased."

After high school I went on to College where I took graphic design and animation. I then found my way on to computer training at various tech schools where I was introduced to computer graphic design programs. To me it just seemed like a natural progression. I began scanning in drawings and paintings I had done, including a very small ink print that I had done by carving out an eraser to make a design of a fish. Once I had these on my system I began experimenting.

I found that not using any filters or effects was my prefrence as it left the artwork in a natural state. The peices look very similar to an oil painting.I had taken the original samples I had out to a meeting of friends because I wanted to see what they thought. And to my surprise they were all very excited about them. I started taking orders that was in 1998. I look forward to showing people the beauty of digitally manipulated photographs and digital paintings.

I now offer my acrylic, oil paintings, digital paintings, digitral manipulated photographs and photography for sale on this website."
