Artist Statement

I am a self-taught artist working in a new medium called fractal art. I have been creating and selling my work in art festivals and galleries since 1999.

Fractal Art is created on a computer using specialized mathematical formulas. Every element of my work — shape, color, texture, and lighting — is controlled by these mathematical formulas, and I, in turn, control the formulas by manipulating their parameters.

Each image is a collage of many layers that are merged together to create the final work, which can then be printed on a variety of substrates such as photographic and watercolor paper, artist's canvas, cloth, metal, and ceramic tile.

I have a diverse body of work. There are three reasons for this:

•  Fractal geometry embodies a wide variety of shapes and textures.
•  With so many inherent options, I am more interested in exploring new fractal vistas than in continually creating similar works.
•  I am not the same person I was when I created previous works. I have grown, changed, evolved, regressed, remembered, forgotten, and dreamed...and I have new things to say.
