I have always loved drawing. Then, I became fascinated with manipulating photos in Adobe Photo Business Deluxe Edition 1 (an OLD program similar to but simpler than Photoshop). A few years ago, a friend introduced me to virtual 3D. My other interests include caring for the environment and following a healthy lifestyle. I have been a vegan for over 8 years for environmental, compassion, and health reasons. I follow a very low fat, starch-based, whole foods vegan dietary plan that keeps me trim and healthy. (Not all vegan dietary plans are healthy.) My goal is to learn as much about 3D as I can and to use this knowledge to make cards, posters, animations, and other works of art that will illustrate the importance of taking care of our precious planet -- and one another.
