When I was a little girl, I could see Dragons. That's how I chose my name here at Renderosity. (Sometimes I can still see them.)
I have been an artist and a writer all my life - and have worked in acrylic on canvas as well as watercolor. I was best known for my watercolors of dream creatures - especially for my Dream Birds. Lots of my art and writing has been found in dreams.
In May of 2000, I did my first 3D picture on the computer. And I was hooked.
My Underground Shaman series - takes off where my 2D work left off. The faces of animals, human, and not-so-human always fascinate me and I like to use them as stylized motifs to create mandalas full of textures, patterns, colors and emotions.
With the internet, I discovered, that while some people make art to look at, I like to make art that looks at YOU! :-)
The Underground Shamans are Wise Ones from many worlds, realms, and dimensions. In mid-2002 the Dragon Fae also began appearing to humans - they are an interesting race, well-traveled, and good talkers.
My computer and software are now ancient, but they and my imagination are still working at the moment - more or less (as of August 2021)
Thank you for clicking through to this page and for taking the time to look at my dragongirl Gallery pictures here at Renderosity.

(picking up from where I left off the last time I was here...) When Buddhism entered China, it developed this severe version of the parent faith, where a mental/spiritual slap/collision/intrusion/explosion was meant to burst-open the presumptions and cultural misconceptions (to use your words) that we're all burdened with...I'm sure you know this, but I bring it up because your text brings it to mind. The 'sudden satori', the sudden casting off of all those preconceptions to reveal the pure inner energy, light, etc. When a Chinese leader asked the first Indian buddhist master---who'd just arrived in his country---"who is it who sits before me?", the master answered, "I don't know..." That's what your description tells us...and the Lion's roar is the explosion that frees the journeyer to no longer hold onto those preconceptions, to say "I don't know" as a joyous revelation. So one can wonder what such a person---being freed and filled---feels, thinks about, intuits..."Grand wildness" is a great description...
Your image is doused in a deep late-august sepia, a brown filled with olive tones, with hidden riches not usually found in browns. The shaman stares with tranquility but also a kind of hardness---to me, it's not a hardness that says "stay out," but a hardness that says, "are you ready?" She doesn't want an easy answer, she wants a truthful one. (One of my spiritual teachers, years ago, leaned forward and, with old and glowing eyes, whispered slowly: "Where have you been..." I couldn't answer until---after some time---I realized he was asking where I'd been in my soul. Finally I said, haltingly: "Uh---not very far." He smiled deeply and said: "Good. Then we can begin...")
You have rich foliage behind her, as well as on her gown. (Great gown!) And then strong pillars and fence pikes, mixing opulence with rigor. And her eyes are dotted with rich reds and yellows (I guess you could say she has several third eyes). A creative and iron-strong visualization of your shaman...her eyes are emerald green and feel soft, so underneath her rock like gaze there is softness and invitation. A very integrated, complex portrait. And the lion on her chest completes your title. It's her spiritual crest.
