Gallery Features "The Colors Of Music"

ARTWRKD Gallery at 128 South State Street, Newtown, presents "The Colors of Music," a solo exhibition featuring the work of artist Jeanette Griffith, on view through June 28. The exhibition explores the relationship between sound and visual expression through a vibrant collection of abstract paintings inspired by music. For Griffith, music serves as both catalyst and guide. Her work translates rhythm, melody, harmony, and emotion into dynamic compositions of color, texture, line, and space. The exhibition invites viewers to experience music through a visual lens, revealing how sound can become shape, movement, and atmosphere on canvas.

Works by Jeanette Griffith are on display at the ARTWRKD Gallery in Newtown through June 28.
