BIO

Born :              1965 Johannesburg, South Africa

My art background is painting and traditional printmaking techniques including
 
Lithography and Intaglio.
 

In 1986 I became interested in 3d computer animation. I find the technology
 
exciting and came to understand that it is a viable medium for my art. I now
 
use software designed for animation as my primary vehicle for my imagery.
 
Each element within my pictures is sculpted within a virtual 3d environment
 
and can be viewed from all angles on screen. Careful attention is paid to
 
texturing and  lighting in order to maintain a painterly approach.
 
I am drawn to narrative images that pose questions for the viewer.
 
Invented spaces and the stories that can evolve from them fascinate me.
