Interview With an Artist

What kind of music inspires you?

    Making of an Artist

Jean Hart

Good Morning,

you caught me early. Usually I'm checking my e-mails with my first cup of coffee.

The beauty of work from home, you can start when your ready.

I'm listening to my new CD from Joseph Carrillo. He is a composer from Elko, who now lives in Hollywood producing music. He composed original music for our 4 Women Art Exhibit. 

"The Elements".

Grab a cup of coffee and listen to his music while we talk.

I am often asked if I listen to music while I paint?

Yes, I do.

 I love all kinds of music and if it's a song I really connect with,

 I will try to paint a picture that match's the song.

I have music on my TV so sometimes I put on New Age music.

If I'm writing, stories, poems, blogs, I will have music without words playing.

What kind of music inspires you?

Loud, jazz.

 If I need inspiration then let it ripe, loudly and with lots of  drums. I like to hear a solid beat.

I just uploaded an app for playing piano. So, lately I have been listening to my own music.

Do you play the piano?

When I was younger I played the cello. I will often have cello music on when I'm alone.

No, I don't know how to play the piano, but with this new app it makes me sound like I do.

I also have a set of electric drums I like to pound on.

Time fly's when your being creative, playing music is just like painting.

Do I have a certain musician I like?

Oh gosh, there are so many great musicians I like.

For along time I was hooked on Toby Keith.

Then there is Melody Gardot.

Now that I have Pandora, I listen to Pink and India Arie.

Be Inspired,

~Jean
