Witness the connection between sound and art.

Synesthesia. Noun: the production of a sense impression relating to one sense of the body by stimulation of another sense of the body.

Come and join Helena Chywski, an artist who experiences various types of Synesthesia, accompanied by musicians Porl Gordon on keyboards, and Jen Rondeau playing the theremin, for a truly unique performance at Heidi Gallery.

Gordon and Rondeau will perform original music while Chywski, who sees sound as colors, will live paint at the same time.
