Project Description

My works are experiments utilizing musical elements, such as notation, texture, and listening experiences, to derive visual works. Even in my musical compositions, I experiment with the visuals of the score and notation. My visual works free the symbols found in musical notation from their predefined direction, allowing for more fluid and gestural relationships in different structures.

This Traffic Calming Public Art is a work designed specifically for Natick titled Composition No. 4. My formal training culminated in my Doctorate of Musical Arts in Music Composition, where I focused on “Graphic Scores,” which have heavily influenced my visual works. Composition No. 4 is designed to match the vibrant Natick town center and encourage viewers to think about how they experience music. As a town resident and private music instructor for the Natick Public School District, I encourage my students to think outside the box and identify where their creative practices in performing and listening to music can be applied. Composition No. 4 will hopefully promote the same thinking to the general public.
