About this work:
This body of work is based on the idea of synaesthesia, and the fact I find visual abstraction and jazz music akin. By associating patterns with parts of music, I build images as if they were musical compositions. They are inspired by the artists which the works are named for.

The images on this page are traditional paintings on canvas, except the last two, which are screenprints based on the first image on the design work page.
I have done commission work based on this style, and can be created with a certain level of site specificity.
