| Inspiration:
|
|
So much inspires me...
The work of painters like Jean Leon Gerome, NC Wyeth & John Singer
Sargent, contemporary artists like Claire Wendling & Peter de Seve.
And also, my mentors: Carlos Huante, Brian Kalin O'Connell, John
Clapp, Barron Storey, Courtney Granner and Bunny Carter.
But my biggest inspirations are my family: my sister Lorraine who
taught me how to draw when I was a little kid, and my husband, Colin,
who always pushes me to better myself, and draw, draw, draw. |

Game Art: |
|
Half-Life 2 has such a cinematic feel and beautiful environments. It
really seems like you're there.
|
| Why
I Got into the Industry: |
|
Ever since I was a small child, I knew I wanted to draw, and do art
for a living. The gaming industry allows for plenty of creativity, and
everything needs to be designed - and that's what I love to do!
