Artist Statement: I am forever in search of the perfect composition ruled by the golden mean. The light upon it is always ethereal and draws out the perfectly harmonized colors of warmth and coolness. Whether I see it by chance in a natural setting or create it in the studio I try my best to capture it for eternity.
