Lifetime Quote

" Our hearts have always longed to love,
but never have been free of fear."
So we have always put aside
our natural compassion
and bowed before productivity,
and security
and safety." - William Martin

Artist's Voice

Pablo Casals, the great cellist once said, "inside every artist are two people -- the technician and the interpreter." Nicholas Loren, our daughter's voice teacher, shared this great quote with me. He added, "to the degree the technician is in control, the interpreter can live." The instrument of voice, whether in writing or singing are "both incredibly personal and highly vulnerable." I get it. Writing, not unlike singing, involves deep work before any "interpreter" can emerge.
