After obtaining her degree in Electrical Engineering and spending 15 years working with factory automation and information systems, in 2001 Audre Vysniauskas made a major career change and, signing herself just audre, became a professional illustrator.

At about the same time Audre became a vociferous advocate of the use of computers in creating art. Audre remains extremely active in the digital arts community, having contributed to various digital imaging conferences, conventions, and magazines. 

Audre is the founder & manager of the first digital art section in the world's largest science fiction and fantasy convention and annual celebration of the fantastic, Dragon*Con. Audre is also the Director of Art Show Sales and Marketing.

Audre is currently working with Christian Seidler, founder of the Matricism art movement and new language for expression in art. Audre is responsible for the design and development of the web-based education program and foundation under joint development by the Jeffersonian Institute and Matricism LLC. Audre is the technical liaison and one of the instructors at the school where she specializes in helping students, teachers, and community-based organizations seeking guidance and education about the professional world of art and the art industry.

Audre is the founder of Attic Adventures, a company focused on expanding markets and marketing opportunities for artists and small business owners. Under the Attic Adventures umbrella are three loosely joined businesses created specifically to address the needs of artists and entrepreneurs: AtticWear.com, a singular collection of wearable inspiration showcasing art of all genres available on clothing and accessories.  Attic-ARTifacts.com, specializing in high quality, print-on-demand archival grade prints from the world's most talented visionaries. And, Attic-World.com, a magical place where the tormented web-traveler can find solid, reasonably-priced and unique web technology solutions, imaginative design services and reliable web hosting -- all wrapped up in one service provider!

Audre is the founder and a past Editor-in-Chief of Renderosity Magazine.

Audre has been featured in various magazines, articles and interviews, showcasing her art and illustration techniques.

Audre was a course reviewer for Siggraph and an administrator at Renderosity.com, and the WizOp (technical administrator) for one of the world's first ever online artist communities at CompuServe.com.

Always pushing the digital envelope, she enjoys tying together varied sources in experimental art, often incorporating fractals, photographs and other unlikely elements in her work. Audre has created numerous book covers, interior book illustrations and illustrations for advertising.
