Artist Statement:
My artistic work has always
been closely aligned with my
quest to uncover the nature of
reality. The important
distinction I make at the
outset is that the work will
not reflect the mere
appearance of nature, but
rather its underlying laws.

If there is one common thread
in my work, it has to do with
a desire to preserve and
symbolize the inner order and
harmony of an outward world
of discord. I have always
agreed with Emerson's
observation from Nature about
this quest. He said, “We must
trust the perfection of the
creation so far as to believe
that whatever curiosity the
order of things has awakened
in our minds, the order of
things can satisfy."

For the past twenty-five
years, my work has explored
philosophical geometry,
including the Fibonacci
sequence, the Pythagorean
Theorem and, most importantly,
the Golden Mean proportion,
which is a unique ratio
preferred by nature as the
most fundamental geometry for
growth and energy
conservation.

This proportion, often found
in great architectural designs
from the ancient world,
including Egypt, provides me
with a substructure of

Golden Mean rectangle, with
the squares, arcs and circles
it generates, allows me to ...

Artist Reviews:
“These quiet icons,
produced from generation to
generation (Mondrian 50 years
ago, Rothko 30 years ago,
Fitzgerald today), are signs
of an underlying
contemplativeness that will
not settle for being rushed
through a deformed
world....[these works] are
respectful of the world and
its order, respectful of human
consciousness, ready...
