  • So impressed

    I just listened to your interview with Jennifer Gennari and it really transcended the form. You touched on many of the issues that go into being an artist over the long haul, staying vital and continuing to grow long after school is over. It was a real joy to hear a conversation of that depth about things that truly matter. Bravo!
