About Kerryn Madsen-Pietsch

My creative art practice may be be succinctly summed up in the following fantastic metaphorical quote by Kandinsky:

“Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key then another to cause vibration of the soul.”

    Superbly captured Kerryn.

  • Thankyou for the lovely comment Julie. These were positioned high up so required some physical body maneuvering (climbing) on my part to compose the shot.
