Ansgard Thomson is 86 years old (born 1923 in Germany) and lives in Canada. She was a traditional painter for many years (and a nurse during the War). She started using the computer in 1993 and as of 1998 after adding the "Wacom Intuos pen " to her tools, now uses the computer only to create her works. (I never heard of Wacom Intuos pen so looked it up-- it is an interactive tablet with a "pen" drawing implement that makes getting your artwork (or whatever) into your computer easier.) This series posted on MOCA is Apophysis-based. I chose my two favorite, both very fluid and evocative pieces to me.
86! Wow.... Instead of using a mouse, you move a pen on a flat area htat is shaped like your monitor.
