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.

    "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."

    "Her depth of creativity is amazing. Sunny's work is not only emotional, but has the effect of making one think about the image and its symbolism."

    "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!"
