Kimberly Daniel’s Experience

• Owner

  Vantage Point Creations

  (Arts and Crafts industry)

  January 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)

  This is a Sole Proprietorship Business
  
  I create sketches of infants, children and pets from your photographs, turning family snapshots or class photos into meaningful original art keepsakes. I also create watercolor paintings for those special places that a photo just can't capture.
  
  I am a fine artist with three decades of experience in various media. Please take a little time to look at some of my work, and get an idea of what I can create for you to enjoy in your own home or office.
  
  New for 2009, Vantage Point Creations will also be offering free-lance graphic design services. Contact Kim for project proposals and details.
