Welcome! I am an artist, poet, writer, music composer and instrumentalist, assitant librarian, software engineer, electronic resource specialist, search engine designer, Web developer, amateur photographer, literary theorist, philosopher, educator and endless multi-disciplinary student exploring expressions, ideas, and solutions across a wide spectrum of media and styles.

My art spans many styles - classical, futuristic, experimental, and more. I use Blender. Learn more about my work.

Inspirations: My mother, best friend, and lifelong muse, Jeannette J. Tiess, passed away on April 8, 2020. She was extraordinary, always inspiring me to improve my art and my life. I devote the best of my works - past, present, future - to her and to my father, Robert J. Tiess, Sr., who passed away in 1987. He was incredibly brilliant, resourceful, generous, exemplary, and devoted to his family.
