THE SOUND AND VISION SHOW
LIVE PAINTING TO LIVE MUSIC SINCE 2002

ABOUT THE SHOW
In 2002 I founded The Sound & Vision Show on July 25th, 2002 at Basic Elements café in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The show was a combination of live music and improvisation of fine art. Since the year 2002 I produced over 50 shows at venues such as: Maxwell’s (Hoboken, NJ), The Knitting Factory (NYC), The Hyatt (New Brunswick, NJ), Crossroads (Garwood, NJ), The Court Tavern (New Brunswick, NJ) and many others.From August 2002-July 2004, Bruce Carl Meyers and I performed together to create works of art to rock bands and acoustic soloists such as: Denise Barbarita, Bobby Stewart & the Contraires, Jones, Jonathan Tristram, and a myriad of other musical artists!

Within a time frame of approximately four hours, a S&V event is truly a celebration of creativity. Musical performers are selected with great care for the sake of continuity and mood. The painter's colors and musician's sounds effortlessly mesh together into a single entity of mutual inspiration that provides the spectator a feast for the eyes and ears.

Upon returning from a month of travel and study in Europe in 2004, I decided to focus more of my energies on translating my life’s experiences into art. My first project back was the completion of my ”B&W Inverted Sketches” series and the series “Eyes”. My travels, friends, and music all play a significant role in my work, including my life long obsession with mysterious veiled women and Surrealism.

A painter by day a Club Photographer by night and once the sun goes down I put down my brush and pallet and takes up my next love photography.(Check out www.ArtChickPhotos.com) Frequently on evenings and weekends I can be found in New Jerseys hottest night clubs capturing youthful exuberance on digital images and recording this generations efforts to define itself.
