NO LIMITS IN ART!
For 30 plus years, I have illustrated fashion for McCall and Simplicity Pattern Companies in NYC as a freelancer, while working for JCPenney Corporate Office in NYC, as an Illustrator, working from models.
I worked for Bernstein Advertising Agency, as their only artist, doing their ads and illustrations.
With Sears, in Dallas, did layouts, and Illustrated for their tabloids. Dalsew Inc. in Dallas, TX. , was their in-house artist. Set up the department, ordered equipment and supplies, interviewed artists, hired and fired, as necessary, We put out a huge catalog, the size of a city telephone book, plus some smaller catalogs. Copywriting, photography, illustrations, layouts and printing.
Started the "Plaza de Artes" in the Tandy Center, Fort Worth, which is a community of artists, artisans, craftsmen of different kinds. A restaurant, featuring holistic organic foods, musicians and entertainers every Friday and Saturday. I contacted, screened, and chose those who would be part of the community, and approved their shop/galleries.
Was the in-house artist for Crown Gallery, on Main St. Fort Worth, and painted in the window for passerbys. I was commissioned to do custom portrait paintings, made several watercolors of city landmarks, that were turned into prints for sale; help set up one man shows and sold art.
Eleven years, artist for SWBell Yellow Pages, doing ads, illustrations, photography and enhancing all, plus some copywriting.
I continue to do custom art.

Thank you for you referrals and your feedback in Guru.com Network. Most appreciated!
I will leave you an honest, complementary feedback on your profiles, as well.
I say what I will do, and I do what I say!
Portraits paintings and illustrations are my specialty. I love most every kind of art ,and illustration, and love challenges! So if you have a project in mind, and describe exactly what you want, and I will show you a sample, to be sure this is in your line of thinking. Be sure to show me your style of preference, as I can do different styles.
I am used to working with a deadline, no matter if I have to work through the night.
My fee is $30 per hour, and I am fast!! If your project doesn't require much detail, the my fee will be $25 per hour.
(Again I work fast) I prefer PayPal or Wire transfer funds.
Communication is key! Call me, preferrably in the afternoon, Central Time, 940-440-2677 or email at donalee@artistdonaleehouston.com
If you have a sum amount budgeted for you project, and we reach an agreement, I would like a third paid at the beginning, another third when you see the results, and the last third at the completion. Changes do happen, so alert me ASAP to those changes.
Please don't forget to leave me and GURU a feedback.
Looking forward to our next project!! Respectfully, Donalee
