With my online painting portfolio (www.petenawara.com), I’ve really tried to keep the design as minimal as possible in order to showcase the work itself. Avoiding flashy design and keeping things stark leaves the images room to breath. Go ahead and take a look at some of my paintings and drawings!

I'm a graphic and web designer with a strong visual arts background, adept at the creation of stunning, but functional designs. I was internationally trained at Parson's School of Design in Paris France and have been involved in the fine art, graphic design, illustration and web design fields for 5+ years.
My fine art and illustrative skills make it easy for me to bring full illustrations to life on your website, from sketches to full realization. Using traditional methods of thumbnail sketches and concept drawings, as well as being an expert in both Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I am able to produce intuitive and effective layouts for your website.
