nikka’s world

Perhaps motherhood is the ultimate form of creation. To make a child is to marvel at the world in its purest form. In this body of work, I try to see and feel through my daughter’s eyes and heart. Nikka is a musician; while for me, the world is all about visuals, for her, it is a constant vibrating orchestra of sound. Nikka possesses the rare gift of synesthesia, which allows her to associate colors with individual notes and key signatures. I painted her intense listening and her circle of friends and family, all pulsating with the rhythm of the brush.
