"I've always liked art, so I guess you could say I'm an artist novice. I was retired by the Campbell Soup Company in 2000, which has given me a lot of free time.  I really got excited when I discovered Xara X. It lets someone like me with limited art education to create some art work that I can feel good about."

"I've used a number of other graphics programs and have arrived at the conclusion, that for me, Xara X is more direct and versatile in its use. Overall, I find Xara X a delight to use without some of the irritating limitations of other programs. I've achieved some real artistic goals with Xara X, but the great thing is, there's still a lot I know I can accomplish with it!"
