Exhibition - Symphony of Color - The Art of Karen Gozzo Nolan

Music is the inspiration for my art. It begins by selecting music for the piece, and laying out the medium before me. The emotion of the music will choose the palette, along with an assortment of tools. The process is very private, exhilarating, yet exhausting in a good way. Disappearing into the art my tools become the instruments, the paint becomes the music. Once a piece has begun, it moves forward with the same musical artist until complete. I have been labeled an abstract expressionist by my peers. My paintings are intuitive and emotionally vibrant, painted brightly with the passion of the song. As far as my memory goes, connecting music with color was something I thought everyone did. At different periods in my life, I would paint this connection. Imagine, color, connecting with sound.  Creating art professionally has been my dream since childhood. The path to this dream has been rewarding but bumpy.
