Welcome to Hot Sand Gallery, home for Chris Willis’ art. You will find a collection of Paintings, Drawings, Mixed Media Photography and Fractals here.

Chris has a diploma in Art & Design, but in recent years she has become increasingly interested in graphic art, particularly fractals, which are a branch of art and geometry discovered accidentally in the 1970’s by Benoit Mandelbrot.

They had been theorized to exist about 50 years earlier but it was probably impossible to prove their existence before the computer because the computational power required is thought to be beyond human capability.

They are irregular patterns that repeat with variation on into infinity. Since their discovery it has been shown that fractal patterns occur in nature. The irregular pattern of the way trees branch is an example.
