SEPTEMBER 2018
Melissa S. Short is an artist and musician from Northeastern PA. Art has always been a large part of her life. Melissa grew up as a musician and has always been introduced as a musician. In search of more inspiration and a doorway back to her musical roots, she began experimenting with her grandmothers oil paints. While performing and listening to music, Melissa experiences colors, shapes, and textures in her mind. This neurological phenomenon is called synesthesia. Synesthesia is the stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway which leads to the automatic, involuntary experience of a second sensory or cognitive pathway. Something that started as an outlet very quickly became a passion; "painting music". She creates a visualization of music by incorporating elements of synesthesia into her art. Melissa's primary goal is to show others, the beauty she experiences in music through her interpretation of each song on canvas.
