Coffee with a Geek with Fiona Fei
Channel: Andrew Wheelock
Date: 2020-05-02

I was so honored and excited to chat with Artist: Fiona Fei.  Her immersive artwork can be found in Second Life.  I talked to her about how she got started, what programs she uses, and her thought and ideas for other looking to create!  She is an amazing talent and a true inspiration.

A little bit about Fiona in her own words:  I am classically trained in oil painting and electronic media. Much of my early years were spent painting landscapes and portraits using oil paint on canvas. However, I developed a love for non-photorealism over the years as an artist. 
In continuation with my love of non-photorealism, I now produce Chinese ink-brush art in Second Life and exhibit my work around the grid.
