Artist's Bio:

I have a bachelor's degree in art. I also have a background in Montessori education as well as taekwondo, which I think have influenced my art. Southwestern native art and Japanese art are also an influence. I have been making digital landscapes, fractals, and abstract digital art seriously for about eight years. Primarily, I use the programs Ultrafractal, Xenodream, Apophysis, Bryce, and Vue d'Esprit for my fractals and abstracts, and Terragen for my digital landscapes. I have also been a serious nature and scenic photographer over the same time period, concentrating on the southwestern United States.

Artist’s statement:

For me, art is about beauty. I seek to walk in beauty. My perspective on art is heavily colored by my Lutheran Christian faith. My art is more like found objects, because usually I start with something I choose at random, and then build and modify the image, layer upon layer, until I am pleased with the result. This process is seamless and organic. When I do photography, I work quickly and spontaneously, merging with my subject and becoming my subject. My talent and my desire to do art are both a gift from God. Soli Deo Gloria.
