My series "Check the Blues Out before Schools Out!", is about my creative process Black Classical Music (Jazz). Music is important to me, I use it as the soundtrack while I work. I attend live music performances and capture moments of the event, with drawing and photography. That source material comes into my studio as I create composition which for me interpret the sound, movement and color for the music. The process of being inspired and productive by artforms.
