“I’m a classical pianist. It’s hard work. I have often felt isolated, anxious, vulnerable, not good enough, and a huge (and unnecessary) need to please everyone and strive for perfection. Being an artist often means sacrificing a lot – time, energy, money, stability…sanity?! But no matter how many times I’ve almost given up, what always seems to draw me back is knowing that I have the ability to tell stories, to create images, to conjure up emotions, to express myself in ways that words cannot, and to connect, communicate and move audiences on a different level. This is like no other feeling in the world.”
