Roz Dimon


HIGHLIGHTS

A groundbreaking digital artist for over 20 years, Dimon draws from her classical art training to create new works and techniques. She is the creator of DimonscapesTM, a digital storytelling technique in which she uses photography, video, audio, paintings, drawings and words to paint with media. Her new works live simultaneously on the wall and on the web. She is also the creator of the world’s first visual blog, ArtStory.net.
