The Real Me
Design is Kim Bruce’s background; art, her passion; digital technologies, her tool. Kim is a visual problem solver. With years of experience in presentation and a desire to reach a wider market, she designed her own website. In doing so she found herself opening a veritable Pandora’s Box. Other artists, arts groups and local businesses have approached her to design and upgrade their websites. Through word-of-mouth, the ripple effect widened, and Kim was encouraged to launch Artbiz.
The Self Portrait Me, or is it the other way around?
