Re-Emerging Solo Exhibition of Jeanette Griffith

Painting and Musical Interplay

The work in this show was created through listening to music in my studio. I listen to music and I paint what I hear. For me, the music whether jazz or rock, or classical or traditional there is a close relationship between my box of paints and what I am listening to. The visual and audio interchange between color, line, shapes, form, depth and structure with the melody, intensity, rhythm, harmonies, sometimes dissonant, sometimes gentle combinations in music stimulate imagination and hopefully create a connection with the viewer. The glass displayed in this show is early work. I started my life in art working as a stained glass fabricator and designer, moved to sculpture, and eventually began to paint.
