Bio
As an adolescent growing up, my favorite subjects in school were art and music. To my surprise, I would combine the two together as I would go home and paint my favorite musicians and bands while listening to their songs. Fast forward 30 years later as I revisit my adolescent days creating ‘Music Through the Ages’, art collectors are enjoying my pieces and displaying them at their homes.
Music is the driving force and inspiration for my artwork. Whatever song motivates me at the moment will be splashed onto the canvas with a paint brush. In 2025 I discovered my new technique by combining the styles of my favorite artists, Picasso (Abstract), Van Gogh (Post-impressionism), and Basquiat (Neo-expressionism). Through this new style along with my artwork being influenced by music, you will see literature that will either dissect the song or have the musicians’ songs on the artwork itself, i.e., Basquiat.
Statement
It can often be difficult to put into words the emotions that music evokes. The range of emotion a person can feel while listening to music is truly unmeasurable. It can change your mood in a matter of seconds. It releases endorphins in the brain. With high endorphin levels, we have fewer negative effects of stress. Music is such a powerful tool. It has an intense yet positive impact on physical and mental health. It can help increase focus, clear our minds, and improve our overall well-being. It can bring up memories from the past, help people work together, increase motivation, and bring out creativity. Music is a universal language.
