Payton Turnage

Payton Turnage is a generative artist whose work is generated entirely by programs he writes himself.¹ An engineer by profession, he began writing generative art after several years of programming, first replicating other artists' techniques before developing his own tools and processes.^2,3

His early pieces explored classic generative algorithms such as circle packing.⁴ One image began as an attempt to draw an ocean wave.⁵
