I’m an artist exploring the visual expression of music through colour, light and sound. I have a curiosity to explore various materials and processes to understand the parallel languages of a kind of musical colour. My work reflects my knowledge of music, having played the piano from an early age. Music is a discipline that continues to shape how I approach rhythm, harmony, and composition in visual forms. Inspired by the design aesthetics of the Bauhaus and particularly Paul Klee, I explore the deep connections between sound and colour, drawing on resonance, tonality, and structure as shared foundations. Through a formalist design aesthetic, I focus on the essential interplay of colour, form, and musicality to create works that translate sound into a visual experience.
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.
Many of my artworks refer to musical keys, notes, intervals, modes, pitch, rhythm and tempo. I’m particularly interested in experimenting with cross-model dualities––lightness/quietness, gradients/harmony, brightness/loudness. It’s an endless curiousity that propels me as an artist.
