Abstract work can be entirely impulsive. This style appeals to my emotional level and it is this premise that I educate others in how to appreciate abstract work. My refrain is often, “Ask yourself not what it is, ask yourself how it makes you feel. On that basis, you may just find that elusive connection with art”.

A collection of artworks celebrating the life and music of the jazz greats

All of these artworks were painted during a classical musical performance before a live inmate audience and then donated to the inmate committee. We provide our classical music gifts to prisoners serving long-term sentences in federal correctional facilities.

We also produce classical music concerts featuring world class musicians for long-term care home residents to lift their spirits and enhance their days. For more information on this initiative, see www.LookingattheStars.org
