Music — Tom Webber Art and Portraiture

Music Collection

I am lucky that I am both a visual artist and a musician. In both cases I strive to explore and communicate Truth and Emotion. Both art forms tell stories in different ways, but they share they fact that they strive to wrestle from silence that which lays hidden in silence. Silence is the canvas for both the painter and the musician. And each require silent receptivity to divine their obscure mysteries.

In this collection, I am using my art to celebrate musicians who have given voice to our souls deepest yearnings and stirrings of the heart, and who have lifted up untold numbers of us out of the mire of our existence and left us all dancing or crying, sometimes all at the same time. This is my humble tribute to all the musicians who are such divinely gifted alchemists of the soul be they famous or not.

“A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.” (Leopold Stokowski)
