My world is defined by the glorious chaos of color, the subtle enchantment of shapes; and how they interact and affect one another.
My careers in graphic design, video production, and digital photography have contributed to my ability to visualize how color, movement and dimension work together to create images that combine both art and design.
My goal is to share that feeling with other people with the hope that it brings them as much joy as it does for me. 

As I get older, I am more aware of the impermanence of life, and work to share every ephemeral image I visualize.
Some of my favorite work is done on the spur of the moment, often on the way to a particular venue. Somehow the light will be right, the curve and color catch my eye, and I must try to capture the feeling. This scene may never be here again. 


I am a member of the Viewpoint Gallery in Sacramento, CA. You can see more of my work at http://www.mercourimedia.com.
