palo pallas:  fine artist; creator of the "Reading Chair Protrait"

"Jean Campbell and I attended college and university together in the mid to early 80's, both in Fine Arts.   Her focus was Realism in Acrylics:  her technique -- impeccable.

"In the early 1990's she presented to me a floppy disk containing some of her new works of art... only this time rendered using the computer. I was amazed by her skills! Jean Campbell has found her perfect medium!

"December 2007, her personal Christmas Card, utilizing layering;  combining images from different sources:  gives the impression of ice crystals and angles on a frosty Winters night, in absolute perfection, you feel you are there!

There seems to be just no limit to what Jean is capable of doing. 

When I came up with an idea (thinking as an artist, abstractly),  I wanted to see, of a "detail of my artwork" and me combined, as if in the same dimension. I asked Jean: "can this be done?"  

Her response...Absolutely!  Palo, that is what I do! 

In this image she skillfully layered a photo of me, with this small detail of my art superimposed behind me, making a delightful image for use in the promotion of my fine arts.

Now 2009 is at hand, always on the "move"... Jean Campbell takes her skillful, and natural affinity with the computer, and computer animation, incorporated in her most recent rendering: 

A Computer Animated Digital Image;  delightfully fun and emotionally connected (a must for any sales!) she combines actual film of the human body, in a moving presentation, with a line drawing, with absolute perfection.

Smooth in it's delivery, believable in combining what is "imaginative" and what "real" ... I take pause, and think, I've got to use this skill of Jeans, in the promotion of my career.  ...maybe an animated film of me and my art works.... and I'm sure she can make this happen!

"As an Advisor to me, in the use of the internet for the promotion of my artworks and creator of many of my promotional materials, Jean Campbell is invaluable.   Quick to answer my questions and solve any issues; continually keeping up to date, on how the internet works, Jean's advice and executions of my needs are valuable aids in the promotions of my career...she always understands and executes to perfection, my promotional needs and images."

"Dependable, trustworthy, a whiz on the computer, a contemporary for over 30 years... I'm fortunate to have Jean's advice and computer skills at my disposal as well as her friendship".
