My generative artwork has been selected for the permanent art collection at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) where I am a faculty member, the juried annual art publication MUSC Humanitas, Courtenay Street Art Gallery, and Piccolo Spoleto Annual Juried Art Exhibition (detailed below).

Prior to writing algorithm-based art, my art experience included drawing, painting, stained glass apprenticeships, as well as nature photography.

I started experimenting with code to generate art in the R Statistics Language out of curiosity. I have been writing R code in my role as a researcher for many years, which includes biostatistics and precise graphics for scientific plots. As I shared my early artistic experiments, I encountered a wonderful online community of creative coders from disciplines that include engineering, mathematics, economics, computer science. This community includes many members of the Generative Artists Club and other artists around the world.

Because of my scientific background, I always aim to describe each of my art algorithms in plain language. The descriptions may provide interesting practice for curious coders, who have written me to show me their takes on my artwork and other interesting side-quests. Moreover, these recipes allow lay audiences to better appreciate the process and more fully enjoy the artwork.
