About the Artist

Earl Hinrichs, known as Spyke, has been exploring the intersection of math, technology, and art for decades. My journey started in the vibrant online fractal art communities of the 1990s, where I found a way to combine my love of mathematics and computer science with creative expression.

I hold degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, which have shaped how I approach art—always curious, always experimenting. Early in my career, I co-founded an engineering services company focused on high-end graphics technology, which gave me the perfect playground to develop fractal software and push the boundaries of digital art.

After selling the company and shifting into corporate management, my hands-on time with programming and fractals slowed down, but my passion for creating never faded. Since retiring in 2017, I've been dedicating myself to computer-generated art, travel, skiing, and spoiling my grandchildren.

My art is a personal exploration, a way to share something unique and thought-provoking. I'm not chasing trends or trying to please everyone—if I like it, I share it. My hope is that you find something here that sparks your curiosity or invites you to pause and look a little closer.
