ABOUT ME

Welcome to my website.  I live in the Pacific Northwest on a peninsula across Puget Sound from Seattle.  I work in my studio poised above the Sound surrounded by amazing beauty and visiting wildlife.  But much of my life is spent in fantasy land.

​

I have been making digital art for close to fifteen years and love creating with a computer.  The images in my galleries are computer-generated.  The characters, and sometimes the backgrounds begin in a 3D program called DAZ Studio.  This program allows me to use characters that are created by someone else or to take a base character and change it.  I can change the shape of the body and all its features, skin, hair, eyes, age, ethnicity, clothes, poses, lighting and camera angle.  It’s like having a model and photo studio In a box. 

​

But that’s just the beginning.  After the images are rendered, I take them into Photoshop to tailor the piece to my vision.  I use other software to continue to craft the piece I had in mind, including Topaz Labs plug-ins, Dynamic Auto Painter, Corel Painter, CorelDraw, Studio Artist 5 and others.  I also use my own photographs and additional digital media.

​

In addition, I work in fiber.  Quilts, felted wall hangings, computerized machine embroidery, thread, yarn, and paper help me to explore the natural world and work with the tactile.  It’s a great to have multiple outlets for expression.  I hope you enjoy my site.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me by email.
