I have been a Photo Retoucher for about 35 years, beginning with Traditional Retouching using brushes, negative retouching, photo dyes, pencils, oils, airbrush, etc.  I feel that gave me an advantage in the transition into the Digital World.  I graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago where I studied Graphic Art, Figure Drawing, and Photography.  I work with Professional Photographers in the areas of Portrait, Wedding, High School Seniors, Commercial and Photo Restoration.
