"The Riff " continues as an exhibition of new paintings inspired by popular jazz performers. Marsha Hammel joins in collaboration and innovation with the Tryon Arts Center for a series of events, concerts, and celebrations of All Things Jazz from 10 November 2022 to 06 January 2023.

Innovation, improvisation and the repeated rhythm of a musical riff are the inspiration for Marsha Hammel’s Modernist, Figurative oil paintings. Focusing on the people who create the music with stylized features, rhythmic color and form with textured atmospheric composition the artist brings the character of the music to visual form.
