About Me
I got my start as a kid, many many hours spent drawing happily. Many years passed. I went to college. Then they let me get a degree, in art! I couldn’t believe it was that much fun to go to college. To pay the bills, I do production and some design. Typesetting is fun and allows the more organized side of my brain to come out and play. Plus I work with a bunch of nice people.
In addition to having fun as a production artist, I am a digital artist. I sell my artwork online at www.MoGoLounge.com and also on http://www.zazzle.com/MaureenGrey (different set of art mostly). Please be patient with the zazzle shop. I am in the process of setting it up so it isn’t at top form just now.
I just started up a new site: www.SupportFirstResponders.com. I am going to donate 100% of my profit to my local first responders. I still have to figure out how to to do that. I figure mugging my local police, 911 operators and firefighters to throw money at them isn’t a good idea (plus I don’t want to go to jail 
so I have to figure out if I can just write their associations a check or how I have to do that but please, check it out.
I briefly worked at the 911 center in Santa Cruz and met the nicest, most dedicated operators, firefighters, police and paramedics while there. I live in San Jose now but I still want to support my new local guys and gals.
Check out my new imagekind site for top-of-the-line digital prints and framing of my art. Imagekind allows me to print my pieces with archival quality inks and create museum grade giclee prints with a staggering range of framing and matting options.
I am working on activating other online sites so stay tuned.

Philosophy: I know that in the whole Glass Half Full vs. Half Empty debate that when I am thirsty I would rather drink the half of the glass containing the water. (And you can quote me on that. In fact, I hope someone will, just make sure to attribute it to me and spell my name correctly!)
