Channel Music

The work in this show was inspired by the artistry of Wassily Kandinsky.  I have always been intrigued by his use of bright colours on a dark background, but even more by the way in which he likened painting to composing music.  He said “Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings.”  In these pieces I hope to invoke the “music” of the beautiful Santa Barbara  channel which we “hear” with our eyes every day.
