About Dennis Wise:

A lifelong fascination with the man-made environment led me to study Industrial Design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. There, I chose to focus on exhibit design, rather than products. This led eventually to a 30-year career in the marketing and merchandising branch of the home-building industry.

During this time, I had always illustrated not only my own designs and projects, but increasingly, for others in the field. This has evolved into the main focus of what I do today. The design background plays a supportive role in helping me relate to the varied needs of a clientele of architects, builders, designers and marketers, as well as a commitment to the community to provide illustrations for grant applications and other capital projects.

This will not be an exposition of cutting-edge rendering technology. Rather it will be about the learning curve of someone quite happy with traditional materials, who was impelled by market forces to adapt to the computer; about how he learned to love it – but with some caveats.
