The Compositure Methodology "on-line" course is accepted by the Forensic Art Certification Board of the International Association for Identification as an acceptable training course.
When I'm not training new sketch artists at Sketch-artist.com I'm conducting over 200 composite sketch interviews a year.
I've worked with agencies around the country, but many of my sketches are for
law enforcement agencies throughout Northern California.
* For composite sketch requests in Santa Clara County, contact your local law enforcement agency.
About the Sketch Artist
The Forensic Art studio (Sketch-Artist.com) was created as a resource for beginning, intermediate and advanced sketch artists working in the field of Forensic Art. I had been approached by many interested people in learnig about forensic art, so I decided to share my techniques with anyone that might be interested.
I also wanted to offer support and forensic art services for law enforcement agencies*, private investigators and attorneys. I pride myself with striving for excellence with each and every assignment. Sketch-artist.com is the only website to offer the Compositure™ Methodology as an advanced Forensic Art technique.
