"Virtual Artists’ Immersive Discoveries in a Virtual 3D Frontier" by Nettrice Gaskins

Dr Nettrice Gaskins' excellent article on art created in Second Life® for the PBS Art21 blog (click here to read) followed by an extremely interesting comments section.

Nettrice is an artist and educator who "bridges the actual and virtual worlds and explores how these realities can have a transformative impact on people's lives and experiences in both worlds when it can be fully implemented and realized" and is faculty/staff at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design
I was surprised and delighted to be included in the article. Thank you Nettrice.
