I've loved art since I was at school where I grew up in England.  Over the years, I have dabbled with different mediums, pastels, charcoal, acrylics. But then life took over, as it does, and I had neither the time nor the room to pursue my artistic interests.
When I got a computer I started playing around with various graphics programs, but didn't find anything that could really help me create original art until my fiance, Eric, introduced me to Bryce 3D. I was thrilled to finally have a program that enabled me to really explore the realms of artistic expression. At first I followed Bryce tutorials and then started creating some original pieces.
When I was introduced to DAZ, by way of a great tutorial, I used it at first to create characters to import into Bryce renders. Then I  began creating renders completely in DAZ and exploring its wide range of possibilities. Eventually my husband and I both got Vue 9 Esprit and since that time I've been working with it, learning more about it through tutorials at Geek at Play and an online class at LVS.
I still consider myself a beginner/hobbyist compared with the many awesome Vue artists out there, but I'm trying to improve my skills.
I recently opened an online store at Zazzle.com -- 3D Designs by Jayne. It features numerous products, from greeting cards to posters and wrapped canvas, from decorative tiles to laptop and iPad sleeves, with my original artwork on them.

Her eyes are so soulful! :) It has a very photo quality about it and the lighting is very nicely balanced. I really do believe she's outdoors in that meadow, maybe around high noon the way the light burn is flashing off her forehead. Very nice; she fits right into the scene seemlessly, Jayne. The only thing that gives it away that it's not a photo is the mane. I have a hard time rendering it, too. I always have to put pointlights all around it, or if that doesn't work, repaint it. For just messing around though, you have a very nice render of a beautiful horse at mid-day in the meadow. Wonderful! :)

DLG, it really looks like a photo. Is that due to the texture or are mainly very clever lighting tricks used ?
