Introductions

I'm a natural process artist from the US, and that means that I use various natural processes as a basis for my imagery. I wrote a blog post about it here, which describes it and how it came to be, but it can be described more quickly by saying that it uses the process of sediment deposition to apply pigments, which is the same process by which rivers produce deltas, and alluvial fans in nature. It's also similar to the way the waves on a beach can arrange different sand grains, according to their size, weight, and density, resulting in beautiful patterns due to their contrasting colors.

This painting technique still doesn't have a name. My original name was "natural process painting" because it utilized not just sediment deposition, but fractal field imagery - but then I realized that natural process art was much bigger than just my artwork, even though I was initially struggling to describe only it, and even though it could theoretically still be called "natural process painting", I soon learned that there were others painting with natural processes.

So my artwork fits in right about here...

I've made a community for natural process art here, and I've been trying to make one for fractal field painting but no server seems to let me create more than 1 community.

I've always loved science & nature every bit as much as art, so I'm hopeful that I can find a home here among some like-minded people, who might enjoy a juxtoposition of them!
