About the Series

The Swing series is inspired by the artist’s lifelong love of Swing and Jazz music, but is resonant of our timeless need to change, adapt and improvise. The artist grew up in a family of music lovers, watching her parents dance while listening to the Big Band sounds. Visual Art and Music have much in common. The Swing series is a response to rhythm, pattern and movement found in the two art forms. Improvisation, spontaneity and abstraction are at work in this series. At once real, and often imagined.
