Introduction

My name is Alison J. McKenzie. I am a graduate student at Digipen Institute of Technology. I have a joint Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science (creative arts focus) from Guilford College.

On this website you will find some of my artwork and other information about me.

History

  • I was born in Texas where I spent the first ten years of my life running through fields of bluebonnets and cruising the warm streets of Austin with my family.
  • I moved to California at age ten, to a small town on the coast near the Redwoods. I spent my time reading, writing, drawing and doing schoolwork.
  • At the end of junior high I fled to an out-of-town high school where advanced classes were available. I spent high school expanding my writing and art capabilities, as well as developing a love for math.
  • College introduced me to 3D animation and also provided me with the motivation to work on a novel that had been stewing in my mind since I was sixteen. There I spent much of my time working for campus tech support, playing in and running tabletop/live action roleplaying games, and working for the campus geek club. I studied primarily math, computer programming and digital art.
