January 2013
Been at this site five years now and have seen a lot of growth - both artistically and spiritually thanks to the many good friends I have met here. I work with Poserpro2012, photoshop CS6, PSPX2, Perfect Effects 3 and Photomatrix 4. I love working in the material room and continue to find lots of growth there. I also do a lot of postwork fixing, special affects, and framing, all for which photoshop is indispensible. I love doing postwork; no image is anywhere near complete without it.
In the last year or so I've added quite a bit of photography to my gallery. I started with a Nikon Coolpix 9100 point and shoot. It gives amazing quality and its small size makes it easy to pack around and just grab some shots as they come into my vision. I still use it for sneaky people shots but now I use a Nikon D5100 DSLR for my more serious keeper work. Had I known how all consuming my passion for photography would become I should have jumped to a D600 low end pro camera.In my gallery you will see mostly storylines based upon my own visions and versions of Mesopotamian Mythology, sprinkled with some Celtic works and an occasional pinup or two and quite a few special requests. I have long been a writer, though a terrible speller, and so most of my images come with a storyline or poem. No image seems complete to me without words to accompany them.In high school I trained in both the Sciences and Fine Arts but when I went to university I had to choose one or the other and so I went with the life sciences. Art dropped out of my life for a long time... though I never gave up my interest in archeology and mythology. I wound up with a graduate degree in the life sciences with majors in physical geography, ecology and evolutionary biology. My love of nature and a deep naturalistic spirituality eventually led me to the wikkan tradition.Some five and a half years ago I discovered poser after coming across some great 3-d art on the web and after some six months of stumble bum practice I joined this site.Doing this type of art has released many visions and stories that were locked up inside my soul for many ages. It has allowed me to explore the life and times of my primal spiritual ancestor, a girl also named Roxanne, who lived in the Sumerian regions. She whispers the stories of these classic legends in my mind and I create the images to go with them.My stories are mostly written as dialogue and they tend to be rather long. So grab a coffee, a tea or better yet a beer, kick back, relax and stay a while.I hope you enjoy your stay here.Hugs and blessed beRoxy

Ah, nothing like a toast to life everlasting! ;-) First impression that came to mind upon opening was "Ho lush!" That's not the first time this sensation has risen for me when viewing your works, Roxy. Your manner of expression is always vibrant and dynamic ... life at its flood. Supperficial themes hold no interest for you and there is always depth to your visions; there is a story being told even when there are no words to the telling. It would be true to refer to your work in entirety as Daemoninc Dreams, derived from the tradition of δαήμονες or daemones: the conduit of knowledge and wisdom. Yes, it would be fair and appropriate. With warmth, Terry

Ah, such a charming couple! I'm sure they get invited to lots of parties! As usual, you've done a magnificent job with this delightfully gothic artwork! I just love art that you have to really 'get into' to find all the subtle little details (like the rat standing in the goblet with his paws on the rim - delightful!). Yup - this is unmistakeably a Roxy masterpiece! Right to my faves it goes!
