I will be sad to leave my studio at the end of the year. I spent 4 years in this space composing music, painting, writing, playing instruments, and singing. Creative friends enjoyed visiting, collaborating on projects, filming, taking photos, discussing the meaning of art, the purpose and direction of our lives. All were always offered connoisseur varieties of loose green tea. Some brought chocolate and gluten-free crackers, others tomato paste. I have grown to appreciate the sacredness of the artistic seclusion and the freedom and inspiration it releases. Now on to the new chapter.
