About Visual Design Associates
|
Hello, my name is Eileen
Slifer and I am the main
artist associated with
this business.
Years ago I began
offering my calligraphy
services from my home,
and eventually I began
adding and exploring
many other artistic
services! As the
business grew, I began
working with a "pool" of
associated artists who
in varied capacities
contribute to the many
projects we take in.
It is my pleasure to
introduce some of our
associates to you and to
promote their talents!
Please scroll down to
read artist's bios and
view their work. I
thank you for your
interest in our services
and any patronage over
the years!

Artist's Bio:
Laura Hemsley
Growing up, Laura's
favorite subject in
school was always art.
She never lost that
interest, and as a young
mother of three boys,
she began hand-painting
Christmas balls to bring
in extra income so that
she could stay at home
to raise her sons.
Today, her painting has
turned into a full-time
career. Among her
many specialties are
ornaments and glassware
featuring Chesapeake Bay
themes and other
hand-painted motifs;
illustration and wall
murals. She
also does face painting
for children's parties
in the Kent Island,
Stevensville,
Queenstown, Centreville,
Easton and other
Mid-Shore Maryland
areas. Her work is
well-known in the
Chesapeake Bay area and
beyond, and she does
many customized orders
for many clients.
In 2006 she illustrated
The Tree With No Lights.
Laura resides on Kent
Island, Maryland where
the beauty of the
Chesapeake Bay is a
daily inspiration.
