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!!)

Dear Kimarie, very beautiful work - very thoughtful work. And as you say, it obviously requires a steady hand on the mouse. But even more, it requires a caring heart to give birth to the emotions - to place them onto our electronic canvases. I hope that Miranda finds "ALL of the limitless possibilities that await her." I hope you do, too! Excellent work! Love, Meredith

we are just TOO much alike, Kimmers!!!! That story you just told...well, you told MY story!!!! Seriously! Well, except it was Mr. Wilson...it was Mr. Lancaster...Ivan Lancaster. OMG, you make me laugh hysterically again remembering this!!!! I never got detention, and i never got caught drawing silly pictures of him!!! Anyway, Mr. Lancaster taught Literature & History, and believe me, you NEVER knew what he would come to school dressed like!!! Sometimes he would come dressed up like George Washington...full costume, wig and all!! He was a total NUT and i hate to admit it but i did participate in making fun of him! anyway, enough about that. Anyway, your image is dreamy, classy, and full of hope and promises!!! Getting lost in our imagination...sigh it's wonderful isn't it!!!!! Fantastic artwork, gurl!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful wonderful painting .. I will stop commenting on the fact that you do it all with a mouse, wich is so fantastid and incredible that you can manage that, but also since it looks so natural for you and effordless (but I know that it takes a looot of time and as you sey a steady hand :-). Fantastic writing (again).. can dream away to your words. I guess we are many daydreamers here LOL .. and as you may have guessed I also did draw in the classes at my school.. even later at the lectures at university. Fantastic painting you did here .. am I right in understanding that this is not a photo paintover. It is wonderful!!!! V
