Artist Statement
 
I try to keep human emotions as the subject of my photography; the point of interest may be a tree, an old car, a person, or an animal, but the actual subject is less obvious and often depends upon the heart of the viewer. 

When it comes to Fractals, some watch you walk by and whisper:
     "Psst, hey you, come look at me". 
Other fractals grab you by the collar, yelling in your face: 
     "LOOK AT ME!" 
 
I strive to incorporate "something known" within the abstract depths of a Fractal to ease the stress from gazing endlessly into the complete unknown. 
I strive to create fractals that offer multiple layers to provide the viewer ​with every opportunity to discover new findings with each viewing. 
 
I have learned that ... 
... Creativity will find an outlet, regardless of the tools you possess.
... An Artist never makes a mistake, they just aren't finished yet.
... Art is not always pretty. 
... I am still learning ...
