People often ask me, “What exactly is a fractal?” Simply put a fractal is a mathematically generated pattern that is reproducible at any magnification or reduction. I like to think of it in comparison to the Rocky Mountains where I live. From a distance, you can see their shape. The points of the peaks. The dips of the valleys as they repeat ever onward. Their bumpy and rocky texture. If you move in for a closer look, you will still see that texture. The rocks and bumps may be smaller, comprised of many more rocks, but they are still the same rocks that created the pattern you saw while further away. |

| My mathematically based fractal art is created on the computer using specialized mathematical formulas. Every aspect of the image – shapes, colors, textures, etc., is controlled by these formulas. As the artist, I control the way the formulas work by manipulating their parameters to create pleasing works of art. Each piece is comprised of many different layers which merge together to create the final image. They are then printed on canvas, watercolor or photographic paper to hang upon your wall to enjoy. |
