String Art Presentation
I put these slides together for the Seattle Math Jam 1/18/2021 and thought I’d share them here. I have investigated string art with many of my middle school groups and have had so much fun finding patterns. This slide deck was put together with some extra toys for small group investigations.

Catenary Kitties
I am really enjoying Genuary 2022. For the architecture prompt, I created these catenary kitties. The kitties are drawn in Adobe Fresco and the code is in p5.js. If you go to the code page, clicking the work will randomize the kitties and typing “p” will bring motion to the clouds. Below is one of [
A Year of Haiku
In 2021 I published a set of haiku every 19 days. I found myself grow as a poet and a strength in pairing my thoughts with photography and art. Below are links to each set of haiku: 1 – clouds splash at my feet 2- whispering of blue 3- you lay cleft at dawn 4- […]
10,000 Steps of a Sandhill Crane
This is my first year participating in Genuary. There are code prompts for each day of the month of January. I don’t know if I will be able to post every day, but hope to learn from each of the prompts and will share pieces as I complete them. This first piece plays with the […]
Ocean Transformation
This weekend, I reflected on the ocean through my paints. I think of waves, tides, days, seasons and life in iterative cycles. The sun, moon, breath, and wave come as the same and different. Every wave that I hear is a different wave and the same ocean. Life is beautiful. This is a 16x20x1 acrylic [
Borb Generator
Sometimes you just need a borb. They make good digital stickers, profile pics and more. I created the Borb Generator to make random borbs using pointillism in p5js. There are over 900,000 points in each Borb. Here is a link on OpenProcessing to the Borb Generator to make your own. Refresh to code to
American Peli-cantor
These birds utterly amaze me with their gigantic wings, synchronous motion, and high-up flight. They really are a joy to watch in flight, feeding, and landings.
Evening Grosbeak
When contemplating a spirally constellation of twin primes, you may ask, “Just how many are there? – Infinite?” The Twin Prime Conjecture would say so.
Gross-Beak
I got side tracked when thinking about the next math bird in a series and thought “I’m long overdue for a kitty comic.” Dozen=12 and Gross=144
Chestnut-backed Chicka-dy/dx
Another Math bird in the series! These little chickadees make the cutest noise. They have had a brood every year in the neighbors gum tree. When I see their rollercoaster flight, I think of slope fields.
