"Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong,
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong,
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me!
What else can I be but what I am?
I want to live, not merely survive,
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive.
I gotta be me, I gotta be me!
The dream that I see makes me what I am."
My real homepage: www.varian.netBIOI've been making art since I was old enough to hold a crayon. For well over a third of a century, I explored many media (personally and professionally) and my favorites came to be color pencils (Prismacolor), acrylics, paper (folding, sculpting, papier mâché, origami), pencil/ink and yes, crayons too. With my first computer, I was immediately hooked on this new technological art medium and for over a decade, I worked exclusively digitally, gathering a wide arsenal of digital art tools.
Recently, I've made a return to paper, working on several altered books and collage projects. Mixed media still rules as I remain unaligned by tool/software, process or technique.

I love trees! I love your Mighty Tree! It's worth of its name. The whole view is wonderful, so romantic, so tender, and so strong! Many stories have been told under that Tree, many loves have been confessed there... and now she is walking there with her dog letting the Tree tell her the stories, comforting her, and giving faith to the future:-) Incredible work, varian!

I love to lean back and look at the endless shifting patterns leaves make against the sky. This pic captures those patterns beautifully - you don't see individual leaves, but the shapes and colours groups of leaves make. Love it!
