I am a retired biochemist who, before retirement, worked for a few years as a computer systems validation director for a laboratory instrument company. I have had an interest in fractals since the mid 1980's, initially writing fractal generation programs in Pascal. I used FractInt for several years and was delighted to find Ultra Fractal in 1999. With the advent of Ultra Fractal 5 I have written numerous object-oriented formulas, and most of my fractal art is created using my own formulas which are in the Ultra Fractal formula database. All of the works shown here required Ultra Fractal 5 for creation.
