My work tells the story of my background in musical performance, jazz, and songwriting—disciplines that continue to shape how I approach rhythm, harmony, and composition in my art practice. Inspired by Bauhaus artists like Kandinsky, Klee, and Albers, I explore the deep connections between sound and colour drawing the shared foundations of resonance, tonality and structure. Through a non-objective aesthetic I focus on the essential interplay of colour, form, and musicality to create works that translate sound into a visual experience.
My art practice is the interplay of musical keys, notes, intervals, modes, pitch, and rhythm. I’m particularly interested in experimenting with cross-model dualities––lightness/quietness, gradients/harmony, brightness/loudness. These relationships form the conceptual foundation for a body of work that invites viewers to see sound and feel the visceral effects of colour.
These ideas are explored through shape assemblage, using a developing library of mostly circular forms that I layer onto canvas, board, or acrylic panels. Rhythmic brushstrokes and geometric structures are balanced with intuitive mark-making to suggest movement, structure, and sound. The process is both playful and precise, as I build compositions that echo the dynamics of musical expression.
Materials play a central role in my process. I work across oil on canvas, collage, pigmented resin, and layered relief elements. The resin’s luminous quality enhances light and depth, giving the surface a shifting vitality—much like the dynamic of music. These layered constructions invite a tactile and immersive experience, inviting viewers into an immersive experience where sight and sound converge.
