011 - Melissa McCracken
This week we welcome Melissa McCracken to Hello Atelier. Melissa paints songs. Specifically, she paints the colors that she sees while listening to songs. For Melissa has synesthesia, a neurological condition which, in her case, causes her to visualize colors when listening to music. Through her paintings, Melissa tries to share what she experiences \u2013 to grab that fleeting vision and commit it to canvas. Through her work, we non-synesthetes finally get a taste of the full musical experience.
