Lindsay Froehlich
Instructor:

I recently completed my Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies and have performed extensive class work and research in a variety of legal disciplines. I worked in a law firm devoted to contract, business, and probate law, where I learned that as much as I love legal theory and research, I dislike filing and time keeping even more, a revelation that led me to teaching.

I also own an editing, indexing, and manuscript preparation business, SabreQuill (www.SabreQuill.com), and work with fiction, non-fiction, research papers, and various other presentations requiring either extensive grammar and structural work or simply an unbiased pair of eyes. I think I enjoy editing and the law for the same reason: it’s all in the details.

On a personal note, I have an amazing son, nearly nine, who continues to teach me things about myself and the world daily (whether or not I am ready to know them), and a significant other who knows that I read grammar books for fun, yet he loves me anyway.

Sara Froehlich
Instructor:

I am the mother of four, 26, 24, 17 and 12, and grandmother of two perfect grandsons (ok, perfect might be pushing it a tad but it's a grandmother's prerogative!). My husband Tom and I have been married for almost 28 years. I've been involved with computers since the mid-80's when the principal at the parochial school I was librarian for decided he wanted the card catalog on computer and said, "That's a computer. Look at that part. Type on that part." Many stacks of 5-¼ " floppies later, I had a basic understanding of the Apple-IIe, dot matrix printers and the program Print Shop. Not to mention markers and crayons if the desired output was to be in color.

Things have come a long way, and my abilities have grown along with the computers and programs I use. I've probably tried almost every graphics program out there and have many installed, but the ones I use the most are Photoshop 6.01, Illustrator 9.02, Expression 2, Painter 6 and 7, and Canvas 8. I have a small home business doing notecards, some personalized for clients with their own photos, some using my own photos or art. I do a family newsletter that goes to 52 people bi-monthly, usually 14 pages, and am learning photo restoration. And I will also be taking classes, because I love to learn new programs, especially in the graphics/page layout field.

Eddie Harrison, D.C.
Instructor

Eddie Harrison has always loved creativity! In 3rd grade, he won the School District Award for a charcoal portrait of George Washington. Then he saw Disney’s Fantasia and, being a young boy, he fell in love with Art and Animation … and Dinosaurs! He drew dinosaurs endlessly, even modeling them in clay. Ray Harryhausen became his 3D animation hero.In High School, Eddie won the National Scholastic Gold Medal Art Award for a Wood Block Print that he carved and printed. Though he entered Chapman College on an Art Scholarship, he graduated with a B.A. in World Religion. Then he entered and graduated from the Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles, CA. His drawing skills were very helpful while studying anatomy and dissection! Meanwhile, he managed to get a philosophy degree from the Concept-Therapy Institute of San Antonio, TX. DrEddie continues to use his artistic talents to paint Charts and develop graphics materials for the Institute, which are sold to doctors around the world.

When the opportunity to teach on the Internet was offered to DrEddie, he jumped at the chance. Along with Art and Animation, Teaching is one of his favorite things. He loves to figure out a subject and then present the Basics of a Program so anyone can understand and immediately apply them. And students seem to love his quirky sense of humor. They say it makes the classes far more fun.

DrEddie teaches Corel Painter, AnimeStudio (former Moho) 2D Animation, Poser, Carrara 3D Animation, and many other related programs. He finds a real joy in watching his Creations come to Life! “It’s Alive! I tell you! Alive!”

DrEddie says, “It’s fantastic to show students how they can bring their own Art to Life!.” One fellow took his Basic Anime Studio Class and has created two popular commercials that aired on national television. He is proud of his ability to help people understand the Basics and to get them up-and-running quickly so they can “create their own vision” in any media that he teaches.

Kay Hoffmann
Instructor:

I've taught vocational computer use to adults since 1990, and in the  public schools before that. Have always (50 plus years) produced art work and photography on the side. In the past, have done layout/darkroom work for a weekly newspaper, and periodical/book illustrations. I've loved computers since my first Commodore 64 and find no conflict between "real" art and graphics produced with newer technology. Shareware is a preoccupation and I shamelessly encourage my students to pursue that vice as well. Am looking forward to meeting a new group of those students on-line!
