Music is the language of the Universe. Music is the physical and harmonic presence of math when ir works. When the numbers add up? They manifest into waves, into time/space, and into sounds. So when I hear music? I move. I move a brush, to music and to math in action.

When a friend tells me of a band to listen to and paint, I keep a keen ear. I know when there is something behind the notes. When the artist made something that speaks, I make something good. I make something new. This is a painting of the lead singer of ‘Muse’, Matt Bellamy. When I first got the commission to listen to the group and paint him, I was turned on to their music immediately.

Thanks to a friend named Patrick, who now owns the painting, for showing me ‘Muse’. I may never had taken the time to listen and paint.
