Art of Ligel

Recently the visual artist for the 27th annual,2006 Jacksonville Jazz Festival, The visual artist for the 15th annual, 2007 Capital Jazz Festival and now the official visual artist in residence with the Savannah Jazz Festival, Ligel Lambert paints his interpretations of musical imagery. You can almost hear the melodic tones of the brass instruments as they float with the musical notes on a backdrop of vibrant abstracted musical imagery. Ligel's use of color and movement is in harmony with his chosen subject of Music.

His first instrument of choice was the pencil, followed closely by the trombone. His love for music and visual art was born. For high school, he attended the Savannah Arts Academy . After high school, he attended the Savannah College of Art and Design, and Armstrong Atlantic State University where he was able to pursue both of these interests, Visual Art and Music. During those years he created his signature style of art depicting music. Pen and ink and paint are now in his repertoire.

In December of 2000 he joined the United States Marine Corps as a Marine Musician/ Trombonist, where he still found time to create his art. Ligel has maintained his signature style of "visual music" and is now a professional working artist based in Savannah, Georgia. His Art is in the collection of many of the well known and professionals such as Evan Greene, Recording Academy Vice President, Marketing & Strategic Alliances, Linebacker, Kendrell Bell #97 of the Kanses City Chiefs; Wycleffe Gordon, jazz trombonist extraordinaire and educator.
