Welcome to Aalterra!

Aalterra Studios is foremost dedicated to creating artworks that inspire others to imagine and to make "real" our deepest thoughts and ideas-regardless of how "far out there" they are. Although our work is within the fantasy and science fiction genre, it is our belief that we should strive to create work that is finely crafted and representative of our collective training and experience in art and that our art should hold some degree of "realism" in order to create the illusion of reality. Imagine.

What is Aalterra?

Aalterra translates as "Alternate Terrain" or "Alternate World" and that's what Aalterra Studios is all about-creating alternate worlds to inspire and spark the imagination. Aalterra Studios wishes to bring you the most imaginative artwork in the sci-fi and fantasy genre. Aalterra, the website, started in March of 2003 by artists Robert Stenberg and Gene Snyder, however both artists were exchanging artistic idea long before that. Both worked together as graphic art teachers in the mid-90's and shared a love for the fantastic and art. They went their separate ways, but stayed in touch and kept each other up to date on what the other was up to artistically. In late 2002, the artists had an idea to colaborate and create a website dedicated to showing their work was born, Aalterra. Recently, Gene decides to go rogue and can be found at Snyderart. I hope that you enjoy my artwork and come back again to visit.
