My
name is Irene and I am the person who creates the artwork in
this website. I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro (city),
located in the Rio de Janeiro state, South-east of Brazil.
I graduated
in English Language and Literature at UERJ University, in Rio
de Janeiro. I used to give private lessons to children until
my son was born. I currently work only as a webdesigner and graphic
artist. My hobbies include music, playing the piano, painting,
drawing, making crafts, reading, studying languages, video editing,
photography, scrapbooking and travelling.
I enjoy
drawing since I was a little kid. In 1977, my father gave me
a book illustrated by Joan Walsh Anglund, which was a great source
of inspiration to my first drawings. When I was a child, I used
to drawn my own Christmas and birthday cards and send to my friends
every year. Drawing and painting, besides playing the piano,
have always been my favorite hobbies.
I visited
a site with country mouse-drawn graphics for the first time in
October 2000 (My Treasured Collection) and fell in love with the style of
the graphics. A month later, I started making my own graphics
and opened the site Graphics by Irene on November 27th 2000.
In the beginning, I used to have only free sets. A year later,
when I felt confident enough, I created my first collection for
sale, which was a great success. My priority now is to create
collections and pre-made graphics for sale, but I also enjoy
creating freebies for everyone and I do it everytime it is possible.
I know
we cannot please everybody and that people have different tastes,
but I do hope you like my drawings and that you find something
you need in this website. If you have any suggestions or comments,
please, feel free to send an email. If you cannot find what you
are looking for, see the Links page for links to other graphic
sites. Hope enjoy your stay! |
