I guess I'm one of the few women around this forum.
And I'm actually a musician, not an artist.


I went to Berklee College of (Jazz) Music in Boston, toured with a
Top 40 show band for years, & played in Las Vegas for a few years, too.



I thought I had reached the top of my interest & abilities as a musician,
so in 1982 I moved to Israel, where I still ended up working as a musician.



Finally, in 1989, I moved to a communal settlement in the south of Israel,
where I have worked in music, carpentry, plumbing, sewing, and now Web designing.



I really have no artistic talent, but with the help of Xara X, Adobe LiveMotion, and an HTML editor, I can fake it well enough to design Web sites that people pay for.



These days, when our local news is too full of bombings & imminent war, I turn off the TV,open one of Gary's tutorials & lose myself in the world of Xara.
