Composite artist, learned on my own on Paint.NET starting in 08 doing Opera backgrounds learning layers. Got Photoshop when it was CS5 and subscribed.. love it! Also an amateur photographer, have a mid priced Nikon and have projectss on Behance under icu109. Also icu109 on wordpress; have too many sites, paring down. DA, icu109 but can't keep up with all the mail. so pictify is my main gallery. i'm a retired CVICU RN, worked with fresh open heart patients as well as ICU patients, 17 years there. Raised 2 boys and 2 girls, best kids and now best parents in the world to my 9 grandchildren. Very proud. Plan to get a wacom intuis tablet soon...have Corel Painter 2015 and I think it may be easier with a tablet. Just bought Poser Pro 2014 and am now pulling out my hair just like I did with free DAZ as to where to put the damned content so it shows up. I must be totally not meant to branch to 3D. SO sticking right now with composite art and Photoshop. Waiting for spring.... Last spring I was in D.C. for cherry blossom time and that was a total blast. Have a son in the AF over there. I have a dog and some birds but being retired, mainly I entertain them and myself with my movies and my art and my books. Retirement is great!
