Statement

“ A collection of visual art, expressing the rhythm and harmony of music. I work to translate the essence of song to canvas. The pieces within this collection are snapshots of music as well as snapshots of emotion. What does music look like to me? Can I capture the feeling of a song through the use of a paintbrush?

Every style of music houses within it a color palette with a unique textural design. Parenthetically every musician or band has a distinct visual signature trending down to individual albums and songs.

As a synesthetic, or one who links senses together, I have found my artistic calling in translating music through the medium of abstract design.

Allow me to show you what I hear. “
