About US

About Claire also known as Tairo Designs:    Claire is 36 years old,  married to her high school sweetheart and has one darling daughter named, Sarah .  Claire likes all kinds of  music, everything from oldies to techno dance stuff but her favorite is Blondie.  When Claire is not at her computer creating art work, she is reading, playing with her daughter or watching a good movie.  Claire discovered 3D Imagery about 2 years go and started making images for family and friends as a hobby.  But, as many hobbies do, 3D art work turned into a full time project.  Claire opened her first store at 3D Commune in late 2005 beginning with her fabulous seamless tiles which turned into learning Poser, 3D Bryce and a whole host of other 3D graphic programs.  Claire launched her first web site  less than a year ago called Tairo Designs which has beautiful web sets, PSD images and darling exclusive art work.  Claire is proficient in several 3D programs and has become a Poser anime expert.  Claire lives in Canada and rumor has it that she is part owner in a wine making company but we have not been able to confirm that little tidbit of information.

About Patty also known as Old Hippie Art:    Patty is older than dirt, married to an extremely old hippie, has 1 grown son, 3 grown step children and 3 grand daughters.  Patty is a retired high school English teacher, a lover of folk music with Joni Mitchell being her favorite female singer.  Patty reads all types of literature, history, political books, philosophy and well written science fiction.  Patty is also politically active and a Civil War historian.  When she does not have her head buried in some 3D graphics program, or is not being politically active, Patty can be found in the mountains hiking and hugging trees.  Patty launched her first web site in 1998, Old Hippie Art,  so her husband who is a traditional artist would have a web presence for his oil paintings.  Old Hippie Art became a multi site with web sets, exclusive art work, digital photography as well as traditional art work.  Patty lives in Maryland around the DC area but plans to retire to her beloved mountains as soon as possible so she can hug trees all the time.

 

If we left anything out about ourselves, it probably isn't important but feel free to ask anyway.
