AS A COMPOSER: I draw a great deal of inspiration from various art forms. I am significantly inspired by other artists' energy during a collaborative process.

FOR PERFORMERS: the intertwining of the performer's voice with my compositional voice is extremely important to me. When this happens each work is re - invented, thus giving it a life of its own.
