Artist Statement

I am interested in color, shading, and shape in music.

I am interested in how colors, gradations, and shapes sound and feel.

I am not remotely interested in gaining approval.

I am interested in old stories, poetry, mobiles, and paintings.

I vow to be completely arrested by the shared moment so as to be led by intuition.

– JC Heisler
