I love photography and creating digital art. It is my current passion! :)
Many have inquired as to how I create my images. I use photos, scanned material, lots of layering with textures, several different image editing/art programs that replicate many art mediums and the desire to create something interesting. :)
And since I`m asked often, I use a Wacom Graphire 2 pen and tablet. I couldn`t live without it. :)
By the way, all of the photos used in assembling my digital creations are not always taken by me.
Some are obtained through a stock photo community to which I am a member, purchased CDs containing photos, clipart and vector images, a few are photos from a photographer who has allowed me to use black and white photos of his models and many of the human figures are rendered in Poser.

"How did I not write a Testimonial for Sunny who I have known thru many Flogs?
She is an incredibly innovative and creative artist. It is a pleasure to know her under these circumstances and the beauty she brings to our world is absolutely something I cherish as is our cyber friendship."4th December, 2005

*Ivan* says:
"Artsie is simply a great "digital artist": it's self-evident. Probably, this is an inaccurate definition: her genre is her name, her art lies in her images and raises from them to your eye. So, I can say "she is an artist", regardless of the definition."

babasteve says:
"Dreamscapes, food for the soul, a peaceful repose, dancing with visual perception, a feast for the eyes, truly magnifcent creations of art, masterpieces - each accurately describes the work of artofgold.
Each day I eagerly search for her newest creation, knowing that it will transpose me into a 'notherly' world, providing a few moments of peace and tranquility in an otherwise hectic day. I could dwell on each creation indefinately, though, and yearn to be constantly surrounded by them!
To visit artofgold's portfolio is a treat, indeed - one that shouldn't be missed. Take the time to dwell on each image - bask in its beautify, soak up the aura that exudes from it, go on to the next, and leave a better person.
Thanks, artofgold, for making my world a little bit brighter and a whole lot better!"17th February, 2005
