Ms Berting would rather I added a bit of science and technique to her art as opposed to a bio. A fractal is a natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale and the latter can be generated by a computer calculating a simple equation over and over. Fractals can be very beautiful. With Pixelmator, an image editor, I combine the beauty from fractal images and the images of natural objects and subjects. "Adding a real element to a fractal is a technique that gives the viewer a non-fractal element to visually latch on to. It instantly grounds the fractal image in the familiair and usually gives the viewer a sense of scale. The fractal image isn’t just a cool, geometric pattern or abstract, it contains a recognizable element"
