I am a part time artist, part time graphic designer. Like most artists, I started drawing at a young age and as a teenager decided I world like to become a professional artist. After high school I attended Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, and in 1998 graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts. I painted mainly in oils at that time, but also studied printmaking, photography, drawing and art history. I was fortunate enough to spend some time in the summer of 1997 studying art history in Harlow, England. I later completed a diploma in Graphic Design and Communication at Lawrence College, in St. John's, Newfoundland. This last year I began working in watercolours. I am concentrating mainly on fantasy art, and my favorite subject is Fairies. Prints and orignals are sold on my offical web site www.paperfairy.net. or in my ebay store at http://stores.ebay.com/Linette-Oates-Fantasy-Art_W0QQssPageNameZl2QQtZkm
