I am a multimedia artist, as well as a Digital Artist and Graphic Designer. I have written poetry and had some published. I do macro photography of the many varieties of flowers that grow so well in Alaska.
I have designed my own lines of jewelry, and created advertising design. I designed clothing and have done interior design and flower arraigning. I have drawn house plans, done landscape design, watercolors, oil painting and photography. BIOMy formal art training consists of two years of art in high school! While in high school, I won 1st place in Industrial Arts in the state, for an original design in a hand-tooled leather handbag set. It also won an honorable mention in the Ford Motor Company, International contest.
In 1992 I had my own jewelry design and repair business, and developed severe Carpal Tunnel. My doctor said, "Do something else - you can't do jewelry work any more." I went back to college and had to learn the computer. I had never turned on a computer before. Needing an artistic outlet, I started playing with the "paint" program on the computer. I still have the 1st flower I drew. It was awful! That...is how I was introduced to the world of computer art.
I bought my 1st BRYCE (3D) in about 1999, and was immediately "hooked". I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I just installed it and started tinkering around - and around - and around. HOURS of tinkering. Frustrating hours, since I lived in Alaska, with no one to teach me. I wanted to throw the computer out the window, more than once! But I hung in there hour after hour, day after day. It scares me to think of how many hours I have put into learning BRYCE!
The primary programs I use are BRYCE 5, PAINTER 6, COREL PHOTOPAINT, & PLANT STUDIO. I use ADOBE PHOTOSHOP for some things. I create all my trees in the tree lab in BRYCE, and many of the plants, with PLANT STUDIO. The nozzles I make in PAINTER.
I sign my work as "BLUE ICE", because the name of my jewelry business was, Blue Ice Beads and people here knew me as "Blue Ice". I decided to keep the name since it relates to the Alaska I love, and the winter scenes I am so fond of creating. :-)
If it's art - it's my passion!

Well, Miss Fox, congrats to both of you for this most excellent flame. Wonderful sharpness and lighting, the colors are great, even with no pink in sight. The ringing of the harmonics is very clear, the sound waves rebounding around the universe in perfect form.
