3D modeling
(work in progress)
My work and direction:
Drawing and clay, go back as far as I can remember. They were my entertainment and refuge when I needed them. They have also been my core mediums.
I learned to paint by glazing and painting my clay work over the years. That made a smooth transition to eventually painting on canvas and board.
Forward past endless years of studio time, to the moment I was introduced to vector graphics and Photoshop 20 years ago. That feeling of being on the precipice of unfathomable possibilities, I feel today in regards to 3D software. I find ZBrush and Blender fascinating, reminiscent of my early years in clay. The possibilities are endless.
