I am an artist who has a passion for fractal art. This however is just one medium that I am involved with. I really enjoy working with all types of digital art, because it is very forgiving, and it is also very flexible. I find that I do fractal art in frenzied spurts, spending days or even weeks, creating only fractal art. But then I get a new idea, and wander off into other areas of art. I also paint in oils and acrylics, and I put in a lot of time doing mixed media sculptures.

I am definitely a fractal night owl...usually awake til 1am - 2am. Then I must force myself to go to sleep. I more often reserve the daylight hours for more traditional artwork, ie painting, sculpture, or 2D digital using the wacom. I find that in the later hours, it is more relaxing to create fractal art, as it does not require the same hand/eye coordination as other types of art.

Whenever I create an image, or look at the works of others, I tend to judge them based on several criteria. Here are some of them... I consider overall composition...does the image work well as a whole?...are areas within the composition competing with one another or are they in balance?...do I want to keep looking at the image? I also look for form within the image...is the form interesting?...Is it thought-provoking? I consider contrast...do light areas, dark areas, and greys work well together? Is there drama in the use of light and dark? I consider how color is used...do the colors work well together? Do the colors seem appropriate to the mood of the image? I hope that a work will evoke some sort of feeling, memory, or response. I also look for uniqueness...Is there something different about a particular image that makes it stand out among others? I also consider the amount difficulty involved in creating the art, however I do not rate this as highly as any other criteria, or else many simple yet beautiful and uniques works would be discounted. I also look for personal artistic style when looking at the works of others. I appreciate the works more of an artist who has developed a style which is uniquely his or her own.
