"The longer I walk the creative path, the more I search to express myself in harmonious disciplines. As a percussionist, I have always felt the need for many colors in sound.  As a visual artist, I need many textures for my eye and hand.  As a singer, I often visualize the note before I hit it.  As a word person and composer,  I want a song to paint a picture in the listener's mind, and if their body moves to the music, all the better.  More and more it seems to me that it is all the same clay:  timbre, texture, color, movement, song."
