#Harmony in art design professional

Maintaining one foot in the past and another in the future, I call into question how we perceive art by tracing a loop historically through image, technology and science. I paint the splintered nature of humanity and reality in a post-technological society. My paintings begin not in the digital and not in the physical, but in the mix our minds make of the two. These include the South Rose Window at Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris, Andrea Palladio’s Villa Emo and Teatro Olimpico, a Stradivari violin, Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest, Beatrix Farrand’s garden courtyard for the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, the illuminated Lindisfarne Gospels, a Louis Sullivan stencil for the Chicago Stock Exchange, and Eero Saarinen’s North Christian Church.

A highlight of the book are Fletcher’s original studies that analyze harmonious proportions in world-famous art, architecture, landscape design, and other compositions.
