Welcome to my gallery! My name is Vicky Brago-Mitchell. These images are based on a new kind of math called fractal geometry, developed in the 1970s and 80s by French mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot, and are created by repeating simple patterns billions and trillions of times. Until today's fast computers became widely available, only mathematicians had seen fractals; now everyone can enjoy their intricacy and beauty. (For more explanation read Fractal Geometry.)
From physics to chocolates! The Sugarless Company in Australia produced, in May 2008, boxes of delicious sugar-free chocolates, using Violet 2 as the basis of the product design. Clicking on these links will show you the pictures: Rose Dark Chocolate and Violet Dark Chocolate.
A very sweet guy named Don Waterfield is using my pictures as backgrounds for all the pages of his new site AddaByte, which is a treasure trove of information for programmers.
I want to thank Chris Reddy of Cool Hot Links for making a set of 60 icons to download for free: Fractal Icons. Enjoy!
To set any of these as your desktop wallpaper on a PC, click on the thumbnail to see the full-sized picture, then right-click on the picture and select Set as Background. They can be stretched to fit most screen resolutions without a significant loss of quality.
Mac users can save images in their Macintosh HD> Library> Desktop Pictures folder. For very big screens, I can make higher-resolution wallpapers. Small fee. (This doesn't apply to every image here--some of the original files have gotten lost.) Email me for more information: Hi-Res Wallpapers.
The pictures are in chronological order, with the new ones always on the last page.
If you would like to copy a picture and use it in a webpage please ask permission. I'll usually give it, if you promise a credit and link to me. It's not possible to hotlink them. If you would like to license an image for commercial use, please contact me--there's a contact link at the bottom of this page.
