Emphasis is placed on the colorful perceptions of one's music.  A concrete realization on the representation of the music, offers to each one the possibility of creating a work of art according to its own perceptions:  cover, poster, scenography.

Gabrielle Thierry also proposes workshops on the landscape, its rhythms and its music.All workshops are for youths and adults.

The Water Lilies' Series

Gabrielle Thierry's series "The Musicality of Water Lilies" was inspired by her rediscovery of the Water Lilies landscapes of Claude Monet in 2010. She is the only artist to have spent 300 hours in total immersion in the oval rooms of the Musée de l'Orangerie to understand their evocation. During 18 months, and 100 sessions of work, she translated eight of Monet's landscapes into colored musical scores. Thierry's work concentrates on visual representations of music and strives to show interactions between color, form, notes and musical compositions. The first exhibition of her series has been held in at the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery.
