I work in mixed media and colored pencil. I teach drawing and colored pencil techniques and teach at the Palos Verdes Art Center, Santa Monica College Community Education, City of Calabasas Recreation, and have private classes. If you live in the LA area - please, come take a class. I know you will have fun. Perhaps you want to set up a private series of art lessons for an individual or small group. To see samples of my art work, go to my website www.arlenew.com.Specialties: Creativity training. Color and Design classes. Drawing. Colored Pencil. I am an artist by nature, a teacher by inclination, and a marketer by profession. I founded Content That Counts in 2002, after leaving my career in corporate IT sales, marketing, operations and government relations. In 2006, Content That Counts was recognized by the Arlington Virginia Chamber of Commerce with an ABBIE Award for Small Business of the Year. I am now living in Los Angeles and work with clients located here and across the country. Creativity is a habit that grows with use. My value as a web consultant is increased by the teaching I do and artwork I make. Teaching demands creativity and I've become a better artist because of the challenges my students present to me and the directions they take me that I might not chose on my own.Web consulting brings together all my skills and talents. My web niche is work with small businesses - independents, professionals, non-profits - that need to get on the web for the first time or do not have someone to update and maintain their presence. I believe the best new website for a small business is a small one that can grow as the owner of the site realizes the potential of a web. Technology changes and so should a web presence. I help my clients with websites, blogs, email, and social media. Websites do not have to be expensive to be effective and growing a web presence over time helps manage budgets and make the best use of new web innovations.
