The patterns and paintings lend themselves well to interiors begging a rich art; ornate & luxurious deco or nouveau style, probably too, due to Scandinavian roots, there's a Swedish bent in many.
Available in several color palettes to suit your style upon request. Giclee printing and application of textural and metallic enhancements to your prints to make them look as dimensional as possible is another option you have as a buyer.
The subject matter, colorations, composition, and flexibility make these perfect for corporate, hotel, office, clinic, gallery, and of course home environments. Interior designers will find the themes fit well in many environments as a variety of products. I'm looking forward to discussing options with buyers and galleries, and of course the consultation is free.
The art is derived from my original paintings, digital, line illustrations, fonts, graphics, mixed media, photography, pottery, jewelry, etc.....
They are made at the highest possible resolution. Fractals can be hung horizontally, vertically or diagonally to fit your interior design or corporate space.

I went to a vocational school in 1977 for Commercial Art. Now this occupation has come to be known as Graphic Design. We drew logos and designed advertisements by hand (with an ink pen, usually). Typewriters or hand lettering would be used to convey messages. Knowledge of the print and photography processes was necessary due to the fact that computers had not been invented yet. If something was to be printed; one would need to go to a print shop, and I was putting it all together. So my first real job was at a print shop. Then I worked for a couple of newspapers where I was an Advertising Artist (same as Graphic Artist or Commercial Artist). Please see my lengthy resume on linked in (listed in the news section here) for the other 40 years of my professional experience as an artist, writer, and teacher.
I'm well versed at designing graphic logos, brochures, resumes, business documents, advertisements, and the like using effective communication; writing, and art, which is a result of knowledge of one’s language and vision.
Delving a little deeper into the physics of writing and art, we find it contains a process of: 1. ideas; the creative unleashing of possible theories (madman) 2. formation; a foundation is planned (architect) 3. building; drafts are written (carpenter) 4. finishing; the writing is polished (finishing editor/proofreader) I’ve used these guiding principles countless times in my life. Just as a jeweler would not be able to sell rough stones, Jill would not have been able to make anything in the publishing field without employing these principles. Her college papers would have been fair to dull rocks. She can say this as the daughter of a bricklayer who was the son of a stonemason in a familial line that dates back to the middle 1600s.
So of course I did learn about laying bricks and throwing rocks too. Not very many structures stand the test of time when we throw rock (rough drafts). Only with this brick, mortar, and finish will the building stand. But enough about my lineage. My capstone point is that the finishing point of any building or art should communicate a great product. In creating this description I had the above principles in mind. My college papers, business papers, copywriting, web designs, resumes, and even informal conversations are inclusive of this process of which is a vital component. Why? Well, I might want to throw a rock at myself if I assume myself incapable of accomplishing as much. And as the daughter of a bricklayer, I think I know about bricks and buildings, mortar, and capstones. So now my concluding paragraph contains the capstone of what is called art. Art, as my gem of a teacher told me, is constructed with similar principles. It contains a precise methodology that assures great communication. I would like to involve you in this structure.

The process of art is a reward if it manifests at all, much less the exact way you might preconcieve it.
I would not still be doing this if there were not awards and rewards of which there have been many. My 59 page curriculum vitae details some of these, but let me explain how I came to be a finalist in Gallo's Best Small Family Farms Awards; I hand-calligraphed several essays about the process of preserving nature's finest on 70lb. Strathmore Linen, a fine feeling stock if I do say so myself.
More recent accolades will be found within social media and professional sites participated in. I'm honored and grateful to have captured the essence premium photographers like and got a bunch of cool new awards at

And more about personal bests like working for the the press and stopping it too, a popular sixth-grade presentation about how to make a tiny rocking chair from a tall Budwieser, and the count-em-right-award, to picture a few fair ribbons too. For this I'm grateful.
