| Introduction | Graphic Designer and Dreamer. I grew up with a healthy interest in anything related to the Arthurian legends - thus the inspiration for naming my design business 'Avalon Graphics'. Fantasizing about castles, knights and all that frivolity were (and still are!) my favorite pastime. Also, I have always been fascinated with British history; in particular the Dark Ages. Bucket list item - walk a section of Hadrian's Wall! I regularly attend local Renaissance Festivals here in North Carolina, and traveled to the UK for the first time in 2012 in order to attend the Historical Novel Society's annual conference (I'm a member). I am also an passionate digital photographer and you might catch me using my own photography in my design creations. Day job - book cover designer for independent authors all over the world - proud to work with fellow creatives! |
