Julia Minamata is now following Mary Dolan

I have lots of art I've created over the past few years that I have not yet uploaded to ArtFlakes but can be viewed at www.coroflot.com/marydolan or www.marydolan.imagekind.com. I am happy to upload anything from those portfolio sites to ArtFlakes anytime...Just contact me!

About Me....
I often find myself inspired by nature and other uniquely beautiful elements that I come across in my everyday life. I explore that inspiration through sketching and photography that I can further embellish and manipulate in Photoshop and Illustrator. I hope to one day be involved in the creation of textiles due to my love of pattern making.
