Project Signs of Peace is something I have been wanting to do for a while. I made this website myself instead of hiring someone to do it for me; because I wanted it to come from my heart. Most of the images have positive statements or Bible verses in them. The quotes are tucked in the images so you have to look for them. Most art is only looked at for 10 seconds. The statements are put in the images so you have to look closely to see them. For every two images that I sell I will donate another one to a charitable organization such as a women's shelter, Hospice or Habitat for Humanity. The photos with the positive messages will add HOPE, LOVE and INSPIRATION to any environment.
Photography and graphic design is a new endeavor for me. When my kids were in high school and college, I decided to go back to school as a post-back student and get my graphic design degree. It took me about two and half years, taking 3 classes a semester. I graduated from Northern Arizona University in June 2015 with a Bachelors of Science in Visual Communication with an emphasis in Graphic Design. When I started back to school it was so hard since I had no experience at all in this type of technology. Who knew you could do art on the computer! I had to work really hard, I learned so much and it was very rewarding. While at NAU I also took some photography classes and now combine both photography and graphic design. I have also increase my photography skills by going on some Arizona Highways photography workshops.
