During 2000,  I originated several collaborative arts projects with my work:  The Music Project was one of these.  Two local San Diego composers were invited to view my relief sculptures and were asked to choose one or more pieces to use as an inspiration for musical compositions and performances.  These compositions were then performed at the BEC Gallery show opening in May of 2001.

The composer/musicians who have participated to date in this project are Scott Taber and Mark Lewman.  Other composers or musical performers are invited to choose from the pieces shown on this web site to send or perform additional music for the project.  Below is a brief description of the performances to date. Should you wish to be notified when additional performances take place please email the artist.
