Artists usually paint the things they see or imagine. But Melissa McCracken took a different path, painting the things she hears. This Kansas City-based artist suffers from Synesthesia, which is a condition that causes her to see the colors when she hears musical tones. For example, when jazz music is playing she see’s blue, white, or golds, and when pop song is on the radio, it is in colors of pink and purple for her.
