Kimarie Chartier here- 43. I live in Canyon Country /Newhall area , Southern California. I have always been an artist . I started drawing at age two. My Mother said when I was a child I always had something to draw with in hand and I would cry when the paper ran out (LOL) ..I went to art school for a short while and have taught art to elementry school kids. I have done many oil paintings , pastels and watercolors , but recently , have been intrigued with digital photography and computer photo art in paint shop pro. now, I mainly work in Paint shop pro 7 and 11. I now also just beginning to work in ADobe photoshop cs2 ! I also am a full time Mom with three girls ( who are all over my gallery) Annie 16, Janel 13, and Christina 10. Between my parenting, photoshoots, Renderosity and playing in paint shop/ photoshop I keep very busy ! I also have a sweet, loving cocker spaniel named Candi who is very needy of much love and attention lol She goes with me on photoshoots-oh- 'cept when I am shooting birds haha cause she is a bird hunter by nature!!
 I LOVE any kind of art .like to draw and paint with basically anything I can get my hands on (LOL)!
I have fallen in love with photography
opening up light and dark and seeing the limitless possiblities! But I do still love to paint too!!  Works like Nightfears , came from nothing but my immagination -drawing/ painting with only a mouse paint and smudge tools from a blank page in paintshop 7. I started out with a Nikon 7900 pocket cam and am at the moment working in photography..now also have two other canon pocket cams a sl900
and sx 100is - mainly all my work in my gallery is done with my little pocket cams - they go with me everywhere and is an an extention of my right hand!! I have a canon rebel as well but it isnt working all that great so manly using the pocket cams for now . Learning..growing and sharing on here is the best!! I don't know what I would do without this site it has helped me learn so much..( this site motivates me so much ) I love it here ! yeah so I got the photography bug ..and I also love to do photo art...!! I, every now and then I will do a painting or a smudging as I call it.( you can see most of my smudge painting works hand done with a mouse on the first two pages of my gallery!!)

awesome lighting Kimarie and story. so many people on the street just made a wrong choice at some time and lost all or just prefer to live on the street. it was sweet of you to give them some money

Gorgious capture. I like how you've caught the setting sun reflecting off the water to give the fisherman a golden hallow.

A very touching story, and an absolutely fantastic capture! Astonishingly beautiful in its simplicity. Always amazed at your abilities in capturing the magic of light at the perfect moment. This one has a special place in my heart at the moment, for my dad is an avid fisherman.....and being so close to father's day, it brought back a lot of memories and made me smile. Thank-you so much for sharing this.

A very touching story and a beautifully lit photo to go with it. It's so sad to hear of people living like this. I'm glad they have a supply of food and that he can feel like he's contributing at least by catching the fish. So kind of you kimmer to give them some money. :-)

Kimmie,you are amazing with the shots you take and the stories you give us every day. this is simply a brilliant piece of work. I've said this before about you. I don't know how you have the time to take pics like these, comment on almost everyones work in many galleries, do post work on your pics and be a mother to your kids...You are one special beautiful woman...thanks for being a good friend here at RR ( I know I just kind kind of mushy here, but it's all true) super big hugs to you my friend.
