This gallery is dedicated to honoring this music and also exploring musical principles from a visual perspective. How do you capture the feeling of this music?In the work below, 'Jass Combo', Saint uses a mix of unusual materials and includes the frame as part of the art work. This piece toured South Carolina last year as part of the Palmetto Hands exhibit.  Our next work, 'Joined at the HIP', speaks to the colorful inner world of the musician in contrast to the hard grey world without. The two musicians are clearly in harmony.
