Sound in Visions: Music Is the Muse is a new exhibit opening at ACCI Gallery in Berkeley on May 2 and runs through Sunday, May 31, 2026. The call was simple: work inspired by music, including musical instruments. My art quilt, "Gently Weeps" was juried in and will be on display.
Information from the Gallery
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 2, 2026, 4-6pm
Description: Auditory and visual art have often had a symbiotic, intertwining relationship. Both use composition, rhythm, harmony, texture, and movement to communicate. Each distinct expression sparks creativity within the other—highlighting, contrasting, even blending into one another. We think of works by Matisse, Kandinsky and Stuart Davis transforming sound and rhythm into color and brushstroke; the breathtaking use of deconstructed instruments in sculptures by Armand. Artists have long captured musicians in portraiture, or become musicians themselves by creating their own instruments. As commentary or collaboration, music and visual art make a compelling pair. Let the music be your muse!
