Jane Mackay


Jane is an artist, born and bred in London. Her art is not typical or contemporary and would only relate to a handful of people. She paints, what she listens to. 
"I capture these pictures and release them into my paintings and prints to produce unique and personal works charged with creative energy."

She goes on to say on her website, Sounding Art that she is extremely fascinated by the relationship between the visual and auditory parts of the brain she captures and commits to paper the images she visualises when listening to music. She has found these 'synaesthetic' images a constant source of creative inspiration and, together with her love and knowledge of the classical repertoire, fundamental to her life as an artist. She is both a choral singer and an oboist. Jane is best known for her Britten Series paintings, over two hundred of which are distributed in collections worldwide.


I think this above image, is one that particularly represents the music she listens to. She says on her website that her favourite genre to paint to is Classical, and I feel the images evokes that. That said, it also represents how music is often visually seen by those who don't have the disorder and that being Waveform. It does look like something I'd expect to see as a visualisation on WMP.
