THE ART OF ARCHITECTURE

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once made the statement that "Architecture is frozen music." What he should have said, if he chose to say anything on the subject, is that Architecture is 'like' music. To propose that architecture is frozen anything is to suggest a unification of the Arts that either may or may not exist. "A noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men," wrote Frank Lloyd Wright. "Lack of culture means what it has always meant; ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall." The Art of the Architectural image should aspire to the same high aspirations as the subject it means to illustrate. and it takes an artist to produce an image of sufficient worth to illuminate the noble art of Architecture.

I chose Architecture as a profession because I love to draw; I also draw what I love. I record what I've experienced and illustrate remnants of the places I've been.  I tend to capture the image first as a photograph and then translate it into a very detailed Pastel and Colored Pencil drawing.  I don't limit myself in terms of subject matter, though I value the discipline of photography because it forces me to take note of the overlooked details of the environment in which we live. 

Thank you for visiting this site.  All of the images reflect my love of drawing and my dedication to the Art and illumination of Architecture.  If you have any interest in any of the images, please feel free to contact me and I will send you additional information.
