About Karen Hochman Brown

Karen Hochman Brown Early memory: I am sitting in a small, oak school desk in the breakfast room next to the kitchen of my grandmother. I pull open the heavy wooden drawer that holds the old candy tin filled with well-worn crayons. Their waxy aroma overpowers the cooking smells. I am hooked.

With this beginning, art became as great a sustenance as food. I gobbled up all the art education put before me as a child, including summer classes at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

Fortunately, my school system had a sophisticated art program for grades three to twelve. From third grade on, during any free period, you would find me in the Art Room, hands working with clay or paint, exploring textures and patterns and expression.

Then, there was my facility with mathematics. In ninth grade, I fell in love with geometry and did not hesitate to fuse this with my art. I could be distracted for hours spinning a compass trying to make perfectly intersecting circles and create patterns. And I equally loved the logic of geometric proofs, where the marriage of precision and beauty struck a deep chord within me.

I received a B.A. in Art from Pitzer College in Claremont, CA (ceramics, drawing and experimental diazo printing) and continued to study math for fun.

During post-graduate work at California College of Arts and Crafts (Oakland, CA), I created a course in Construction Geometry via art for my Master of Art Education thesis. I taught this curriculum at the Arts Magnet High School (Oakland, CA) and Pasadena Waldorf School (Altadena, CA.)

In 1984, my artistic life was turned upside-down when I bought the first Macintosh computer. While the tools were rudimentary back then, the confluence of art and math created a tool that resonated to my core. As the technology grew, so did my skills.

I went back to school, taking classes at UCLA (Los Angeles, CA) and Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, CA) to study computer-based graphic design. With these skills, I ran a freelance graphic design business for over fifteen years.

Now, I use my years of education and on-the-job skills to create digital art, where I find a symphonic union of math and art. In my most recent work, I explore the hidden worlds inside manipulated reflections of flower imagery as revealed through the use fractal geometry-based software.
