I am presenting my art here in low resolution and selected pictures as wallpapers for free download. Selected pictures will be available as high resolution Exclusives. If you are interested in prints of my work, contact me through my website ShivaFooL.com

I grew up in Virginia and my father who was an amateur sculptor was a major influence in my love of art. I took a few art classes in college, but at that time the university had one mainframe computer and there was no such thing as a personal computer. I became enchanted by the wide open spaces and colors of the Southwest and moved to New Mexico in 1988. I became aware of the possibility of making art on the computer in 1993, but it was the late 1990s when digital art became my passion and has been ever since. My day job as a psychiatrist is demanding but my art is on my mind every day. Music, especially heavily rhythmic music (e.g. Mickey Hart), helps me get into a trance-like state exploring color, form, light, texture, and composition to bring to life my version of beauty.

I have recently focused on works by hand instead of digital since I got tired of the bias against digital art, and I am so happy with how well this has been received.
