Brenda is an award-winning fractal artist. While she creates digital print images and animations based on mathematical formulas, her approach to the work is highly intuitive and the ethereal images produced beautifully reflect her artistic vision.

Having studied Fine Arts and worked in graphic design, Brenda began to transition to making fractal art in 2007. The underlying mathematical geometry of fractals has a vibration that is closely related to the patterns found in nature. As a trained reiki practitioner, subtle energy fascinates Brenda, and makes itself felt on many levels, including in her artwork. The attraction to creating fractal art was a natural progression.

Capturing as much beauty as possible is an integral part of her practice. Beyond the visual appeal, viewers often comment on the calming effect that her work has on them, describing it as transformational or healing. Currently Brenda is finding great joy in creating fractal animations as well as single images. She enjoys collaborating with musicians on multidimensional audio/visual projects, weaving the art and music together for a beautiful, transcendent experience.
