I'm a 56 year old* medically retired mental health professional. I was born in Jamestown, North Dakota, received my formal education at Jamestown College, Gallaudet College and Baltimore School of Photography.
My 'art ideas' come from and are a visual manifestation of a lifetime's experience. I give viewers clues as to the 'where' of those experiences in the titles of my art.
I've had a lifelong interest in photography, and used to do custom portraiture work of family and friends, using Adobe photoshop. I became interested in 3d seeing works of others doing custom portrait designs inside 3d software.
I use Adobe PhotoShop 6.1, Bryce 5 & 5.5, TrueSpace 6.5, and 3dStudioMax to create my visions. I use real people as opposed to Poser-generated subjects, and when doing so, I use model photography by Marcus Ranum / ranum.com.
