MICHAEL IAN GOULDING

“I strive for my art to uplift the spirit and inspire appreciation for the beauty of life. I have been engaged in art for nearly my entire life. I have worked in a variety of media and focused on a number of subjects, all with the purpose of creating something beautiful. Ultimately, that journey led me to focus on the beauty of the female form as viewed through black-andwhite photography.”
