What is a Fractal

Poem

      A Fractal is the product of a mathematical process where a series of ranges and complex number values are assigned to a recursive mathematical formula.
      The formula creates a simple feedback process in which the same operation is carried out repeatedly, the output of one iteration becomes the input of the next. The result of each recursion of the formula assigns a color value to a point in space; the relative accumulation of these points sometimes result in infinitesimally complex designs; sometimes these points form shapes which occur in nature; other times the results are relatively uninteresting.
     Some formulas are designed to generate 2D dimensional images; others produce a more 3D dimensional effect.
     Among the most famous mathematicians to develop of this mathematical ‘art form’ are Gaston Julia & Benoit Mandelbrot.

The Art of Healing

Art serves as a connection between the mind, the emotions and the body. 

By integrating art into the care-giving of patients, we improve a child's ability to heal on every level.

Hayley Oggel, Artist-in-Residence

The creative process helps sick children and teens to cope better with stress, work through traumatic experiences, voice unexpressed thoughts and emotions and to simply enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of the creative process.
