Introduction Love computers especially the graphics side and get a real kick out of teaching computers. I am an artist and have been painting in oils, watercolour and pastels since 1983 but since computers came into my life this area has taken a backward step. Singing is another passion of mine and started computering just to get backing music midis and words of songs for free from the web. Little did I realise the monster I was creating. I am addicted to the computer and love my job here as I am creating so many things from my computer. This fills this driving urge I have to create something every day. Creating from a computer is so much easier and so much quicker and so much cleaner than painting. No brushes to wash and no smelly turps to upset my asthma.
Interests Computers, Painting, Writing poetry, singing, collecting words of songs, gardening, designing, reading, teaching, entertaining an audience and playing the poker machines.
Favorite Movies "Pretty Woman" would have to be my favourite.
Favorite Music Rock an' Roll and any music that hit the top in the sixties and seventies.
Favorite Books I remember the first book I ever read as an emerging adult was FOREVER AMBER As a child we never had books at home and only read school books. Reading for pleasure was not a prioterty in our home. Anyway school work (as in homework) took all my time as I was a very competitive student. Sound like a real teachers pet, don't I? But to me being top in class was almost an obsession and it didn't come naturally I used to do about four hours homework every night. Thank God all that is over.
