Our featured Artist this time is Ursula Vernon. She likes, "teriyaki, swords, the music of Nick Cave and Steeleye Span, kung fu movies, velour, and the smell of rain on a dusty day."

Ursula is primarily a digital artist. Most of her art is created by a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Painter. Every now and then she uses watercolor or acrylic as well, but most of her art is created with a computer. It just doesn't look digital. Her art has richness of colors shading and is informed by a knowledge of classical techniques.

Her website contains tutorials about how she creates her digital art, as well as commentary on many of her works. You can see more of Ursula Vernon's art and find out how to order prints at her website: /www.metalandmagic.com.
