Overview

Shoshana Epsilon takes extraordinary pictures in Second Life. Primarily a portrait artist, she also has some wonderfully emotive "world" pictures, as well. When taking portraits, she has a way of "capturing the soul" of the avatar that defies explanation. She specializes in raw photography, using very little Photoshop post-processing to achieve her goals.

Shoshana's first art display was at SL3B, SecondLife's 3rd Birthday. She has been the art director for SL4B_Art , and is now the director of SL5B's art display.

Shoshana has been the featured artist at several displays: the Metaverse Gallery Premiere Opening for the UTD (University of Texas at Dallas) Artech display, Angel Dorei museum and a the Library Gallery. She will be the featured artist at Avatrait in April 2008. The has been the curator at Rezzable's Cannery Gallery and is on the Board of Directors at Avatrait.

She has numerous in-world art-galleries, two in Steiger, one in Atropolis, one in Corleon, one at the SLACC (SL Arts Community Center) and one at the Photo and Art Warehouse. She also has an art maze.
