"I continue to be in awe of the music that is within me. This collection in particular reveals my willingness to be seen as a composer, embracing the expansiveness of what I am called to share. It was a fascinating journey from the fear of ""will I really be able to write more original pieces that don't sound like the others?"" to ""oh, wow, I love this collection."" It is an honor to follow the nudges...the pieces...the tiles of the mosaic...and share this creative collection with you. My passion for music was expanded upon when I pursued a BM-Music Education at UW-Whitewater. Following graduation, I taught in the schools for a year and longed for my piano, so off to grad school I went. I completed my MM-Collaborative Piano at UW-Milwaukee and deepened my love for the vast variety of styles and moods I could portray through my fingers. I have a passion for giving meaning to the notes on a page, crafted and created by others. I am delighted to now be one of those creators. The journey continues, the path unfolds, and the echoes resound."
