[Connie Werner]

Hello, My name is Connie Werner. I have visited portraitartist.com many times admiring all the artist's works. For some reason, I thought I would introduce myself today. I have always loved art. I have always been artistic. However, I never felt confident in my abilities to make it in the artist world. I went to college and got a BS in Engineering technology, only to find the creativity utilized there was technical...duh! To make a long story short, I painted my first portrait in December 2000. Since then, I have done one after the other. Suddenly, I have found a few customers who actually want to hire me to paint for them. In my heart I feel I have a long way to go, but one day, I want to paint as well as the members here.
