"Clear perception of beauty sometimes is revealed
through envisioning raw simplicity and essential harmony of a subject or
being. My venues in artistic endeavors, including surgical and medical
art, attempts to extract the same balance that is naturally achieved by
a subject in existence. Thus I hope you, the viewer, are permitted
to be enlightened to something fulfillingly beautiful that was already
evident to that same subject or being itself. Allowing yourself to
do just that, will allow you to see what has never been seen before."
