top sketchwork 1

My series Sketchworks are an expression of abstract art inspired by jazz improvisation. I listen to jazz and sketch with pencil or pen in black and white and let the melodies and harmonies and chord changes influence my sketching. Every note of an improvised solo is reflected in the marks I make on paper. I try to give visual form to the audio expressions I hear. Whether I’m listening to Traditional jazz, Standards, Cool jazz, Bebop, Hard Bop, Ballads, all styles can be recognized in Sketchworks. Available for purchase at:
