I Paint Music

All my life I have painted expressions of gesture. Every touch of brush to paint and then to canvas involves gesture. Gesture is the purest form of expression, feeling, and communication. Gesture is the most important tool in my work as an artist.

I have a form of synesthesia called Chromesthesia, which means I see sound in color, shape, and texture. I also have Auditory-Tactile synesthesia, which means I viscerally sense music, which creates feelings of expression and gesture in my bones.

Gestures of our bodies express or emphasize an idea, sentiment, or attitude, and allows us to communicate without words. After studying ancient languages and practicing the artful formations of their alphabets, I have developed my own gestural language to help me express how I see and feel music.
