BIOI have been into art all my life it seems. I have always envied those that could pick up pencils and paints and create wonderful works of art. I couldn't draw with a pencil or paint to save my life. It wasn't until my husband bought our first computer in 1998 that I began to explore the world of digital art.
Being a stay-at-home mom, I forced myself to learn how to use the computer. I started creating "2d" art with the MS Paint Program and then moved on to Paint Shop Pro (Which I still use today). I couldn't get enough. I was truly addicted. I followed every tutorial I could get my hands on to create "art".
It wasn't until I came across Moyra's Web Jewels and saw how amazing her site was and how talented she is. I then thought "Wow, why couldn't I do something like that?" I threw myself into learning how to put together websites that I could make graphics for. It was then through all my searching and studying that I came across a program called Poser. I came across sites that were made with these awesome 3d figure. I just had to have this program...But it was so expensive!
My love for "digital art" kept growing. I found myself creating these "2d" images called cartoon dolls in the summer of 2000. I created them, other graphics, and web sites on and off for about five years. Then Poser came calling again. And after 7 years of begging, pleading, and groveling my husband finally broke down and gave in. In Christmas of 2003 my dive into the "3d" world began and I haven't stopped.
I'm constantly learning new techniques. I am forever pushing and challenging my self to try new things and go beyond my norm. So what the future holds for me, I don't know but I look forward to it. :)
