My Zany Bird of Happiness was featured at the XR Art Show in San Diego in February 2020, on a print that came to life in Augmented reality!  This crazy bird's mission is to make people smile!

My Australian Animals piece appeared as part of a collaboration led by Michelle Brown to raise funds for the wildlife and rehabilitation of habitats in Australia due to the bushfires. VR artists from all around the world contributed. 

Two of my VR pieces, "Mystical Spirit Wolf" and "Silent Scream" were published in the January 2020 edition of Burning House Press! 

I had an amazing time at the VRArtLive VR Burn show! I was thrilled to have my tribal lion and flaming cobra featured there alongside the work of so many talented VR artists. It is an incredible experience to be able to climb up into the art to explore it up close, and to be able to share the experience with other artists in VR, hanging out together while surrounded by these amazing 3D creations. So happy to have been part of it all!

So excited...My Chinese Dragon was a Director's Choice award winner in the Virtually Tilted art show, October 2019. 

I decided to make a Chinese dragon because I felt like this amazing magical creature could really be brought to life in 3D and fully utilize the sparkling particle effects available in Tiltbrush.  Plus I have always been fascinated by dragons!

I find that when making animals, it helps me to make a skeleton type model in Gravity Sketch first. I could do this directly in Tiltbrush, but I find it easier to import a model that I made in another application since I can pin it into place and easily remove it once the piece is finished.

I like to experiment with unique ways to use the effects within Tiltbrush.  For example, I used 5 brushes to make up a single dragon scale (hypercolor, wire, disco, streamers and fire).  Then I made different color variations of that scale which I used throughout the piece to create the color patterns on the dragon. I had originally planned to make a more elaborate scene for him, but found that everything I tried to add took away from the dragon himself, so I decided to let him stand alone on a simple base.

I hope you will enjoy viewing this dragon as much as I enjoyed making him!

I had fun collaborating with Paige Dansinger and several other VR artists to contribute a piece to the VR Community Garden for the Better World Museum. It was really fun to see the garden grow as more plants and flowers were added! Here are some of the flowers that I made as my contribution.
