🎨 Art Series by Hank Hehmsoth

This page presents an overview of my visual art series and collections, which explore the relationship between music, improvisation, gesture, and visual form. As both a jazz pianist and visual artist, my work often begins with musical ideas — rhythm, harmony, motion, and structure — which are translated into abstract visual compositions.

These series form part of Time Space Fabrics, an ongoing interdisciplinary body of work combining visual art, jazz performance, composition, and installation. Many of these projects developed alongside musical performances, recordings, exhibitions, and collaborations, exploring how rhythm, motion, and improvisation can be translated into visual form.

Below are the major art series and collections, along with links to exhibitions and project pages.

Seeing Sound / Hearing Color — Brazosport Exhibition
