About the Deevine Miss M

My journey as an artist started as soon as I was old enough to clutch a crayon. My favorite Christmas presents were crayons, paints and drawing paper. My passion for art continued into my high school years, when I was taking three art classes a day (due to being kicked out of a couple of other classes, as well as having a very encouraging art teacher.) However, I quit school just before graduation and dropped my art entirely for 35 years, until, in1995, I went back to school and majored in Graphic Design. Although graphic design has since been my bread and butter, digital art is that thick layer of jam on top!

Digital artwork is a work of art created using technology instead of traditional materials. Using a Wacom tablet and stylus to paint with, I play with the focus, color and form. Some elements are added, others are removed. Each picture is different. Some images remind me of pen and ink drawings, some are water colors, others are oil paintings. The technique is essentially the same with just a few distinct differences. The marriage of technology and art does not lessen its merit; indeed, a digital art is a work of art.

Here is a random sampling of the various directions I wander off to - so now, I come to a new stage in my career - I'd like to specialize in Pet Portraits. Perhaps due to the fact I'm surrounded by two dachsunds, one chihuahua and a mixed small blond dog. Photo ops are rampant at our house and we get so much enjoyment out of creating portraits that I thought I'd share the pleasure.
