PAINTING MUSIC

Music accompanies my daily work in the studio. The sound worlds of Bach, Ravel, Schumann, Brahms, and Bartok evoke experiences that find an equivalent in color, tonality, and form. Painting Music, a series of forty abstract works, is inspired by contemporary musicians and composers who have an important place in my life.
