"Our campus ran a conference last year whose theme was 'My Work and my Play'. One of the best aspects of the Math-Art connection is that I can say 'my work is my play and my play is my work'. I like to write computer programs which experiment with visualizing almost any mathematical concept and imitating structures found in nature."
