Artist Statement:
I draw whenever the urge hits me. When moments of quiet descend upon me, I find a bit of digital fingerpainting eases any mood.
My current artistic endeavors are digitally oriented. I find that digital media makes the creation process for an artist that much easier. I started with traditional media but found myself draw in by the ease of digital art.
I use a number of software to create my works. Most of the works on this site were created with "Expression" by Creature house. It's a versatile illustration program. I also use Bryce 4 for 3D rendering, Adobe Photoshop (I have 6.0) and Painter Classic. The latter is a very nice software that allows you to fake oil painting, watercolor and other traditional media. It's very handy for practicing at traditional arts w/o the messy clean up and hassles. I've also begun using Terragen for 3D scenery.
If not for the game Myst, I probably never would have attempted digital art. It was my interest in the creation of the game Myst that peaked my interest in digital art. With the help of friends and acquaintances online who were also intrigued with digital ...

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
I think my biggest inspiration was my late paternal grandmother. She was always painting landscapes but she also did a lot of family related images. I was also inspired by my maternal grandmother and her siblings who were orators, poets, and musicians. My brother took many of the photography and art classes I didn't and I learned much from just copying him. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Mostly just something to do. I've always liked drawing and mostly started to imitate my brother who was always drawing something. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I come from a long line of artisans. On both sides of my family there have been poets, song writers, musicians, wood carvers, public speakers and explorers to name a few.
I think I learned much of my talent from watching others, especially my older brother. He has a natural talent for art and photography and I took over the artistic endeavors as I grew into adulthood. I took many art classes in grade school and a few in College. Then I became enamored with computers and the game Myst. From then on I became a digital illustrator with some dabbling in digital painting and 3D rendering.
