Auction item: A Day At Cathy Heck Studio. Winner: Alessandra, a talented freshman in high school who is already soaring with her artistic endeavors. We started the day with a portfolio review and then we got to work. We scanned several of Alessandra’s pieces so that she would be able to use her own artwork while taking her first Photoshop lesson from our Photoshop magician, Greg. After learning to rotate, feather, marqee and lasso (not the Texas kind), Alessandra was ready to create her first products. She made a set of stationery for a good friend, and two sets of stationery that could rival any on the market. We printed the products, packaged them and she was on her way. I did remind her that Photoshop is just a tool, albeit a wonderful tool, and she should NOT give up her pens, pencils and brushes. Keep making art Alessandra! We already see great things coming from your talented hands. (See Alessandra’s work below.)
