I’m a watercolor artist interested in the parallels between musical art and visual art.
My current portrait series is about musicians’ experiences during COVID.
It's coming to the Anderson Arts Center in September 2021.
Has the pandemic changed your relationship with your instrument? Has it changed your views on performing live? Have you shifted which instruments you are most drawn to, or has the time strengthened your relationship with your primary instrument? How has your mood changed? As the months have dragged on, has your music become more of a refuge, or a frustration? Everyone is different and these are a few of the questions I hope to explore in my new series.
I am married to a musician and I saw firsthand how deeply the musicians around me were impacted through the current health crisis. I felt drawn to respond through my own work: re-framing their stage through my art. I also sense I’m documenting a lasting pivot in the ways we distribute and consume art and music.
