ARTWORK
My songwriting informs my paintings. I try to bring “melodies” to the canvas through the juxtaposition of light and dark colors that surround large and small basic shapes, with some quirky designs thrown in — all in an attempt to create a sort of visual symphony.
My goal is ultimately to make the eyes as happy when they see a painting as their ears are when they hear a melody.
Some of my paintings are offered for sale. Email me to inquire.
“I feel like I’m looking into Seth’s mind when I look at his paintings. On the surface, his work is bright and bursting with energy. But, his paintings reveal more than that each time you look at them. That’s what makes his work feel timeless to me.”

Objets D'art
I collected every campaign pin from Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential run in 1968.
“Air from Abbey Road Studio 2, where The Beatles recorded most of their songs. Wed., March 30, 2011, 4 p.m.
I had my piano painted with the same psychedelic designs John Lennon painted onto his Rolls Royce in 1967.
These are cardboard display boxes of popular products from the 60s and 70s that I had encased in acrylic so they can be used to hold everyday items like guitar pics, old letters and the like.
This mobile is made up of my favorite “45” singles from the summer of 1969: “Aquarius” (The Fifth Dimension), “Build Me Up, Buttercup” (The Foundations), “Honky Tonk Woman” (The Rolling Stones), “Good Morning, Starshine” (Oliver), “Hot Fun in the Summertime” (Sly and the Family Stone) and “My Cherie Amour” (Stevie Wonder).
I designed acrylic lamps to hold my favorite books.
