My jazz artwork is a visual interpretation of rhythm, movement, and improvisation. I use a simplified Cubist approach to fragment musicians and instruments into geometric shapes, lines, and overlapping forms. Rather than depicting the musicians realistically, I rearrange the forms to capture the energy and spontaneity I hear in jazz. Color creates a visual rhythm that echoes the contrast between sound and silence. I am not trying to illustrate the music; I am trying to make the music visible.
