Ivy Summers from Northeast Tennessee has always had music and art as part of her life!
She has been an Adobe Creative Suite Ambassador endorsing and working with Adobe creative suite products throughout most of her art career. In 2010, she was then introduced to Daz Studio and soon discovered the joy of creating short story animations, realising the accessibility to an unlimited amount of quality 3d models, that could be rendered on a home computer.
Since then Ivy has created a series of her own cartoon animations including the “Karate Girl” Adventures. She’s been commissioned to promote country musician Gus Gregory’s children Christmas songs with animation and commissioned for book cover illustrations by Christian author Buddy Vadien.
Today the demand for Ivy’s ability to create commissioned artwork, for print, websites design, business logos, brochures, t-shirt prints, book covers, animation has grown! Throughout her husband has encouraged her creative journey.
You can find more example of Ivy’s work on her website.
Ivy is an active member of the DAZ forums, sharing her art and advice since 2010, especially on this long running thread.
To top it all – Ivy is very energetic and loves all animals, especially the small fuzzy ones!
