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

In looking at this amazing picture, I can just imagine how it sounds like during the spring run-off..the water crashing and cascading down. Here , though is just the silence of Winter.

Beautiful capture – but it look like a treacherous area for hiking!

Wow! That is really cool! What a great angle too. Beautiful and have never seen anything quite like that. Instantly takes me to thoughts of glaciers. However the surroundings really give it a fey mood. One thing I did like about all the snow recently was how peaceful and quiet everything was, especially at night. Excellent capture.

Truly spectacular. Granted that you had some great raw material to work with, your composition & postwork turned it into a photographic masterpiece that would be right at home in an art gallery or a fine nature photography book...

What a gorgeous shot, Roxy! You definitely have a higher tolerance for cold than do I. Although to see and photograph this, I would seriously consider taking off my wuss cape, and trade it for some thermal underwear... That blue color is just gorgeous.

I'm blown away by this phenomenon. I adore waterfalls, this one would be beautiful anytime of the year, and I've never seen anything quite like this!
