I had the privilege and honor of spending a week at Baldwin for the Arts in December 2022. During a transition period within my life, this experience provided me the space and time to go inward, reconnect with my core self and my connection to the Earth, using it as a conduit of creativity. While at Baldwin, I resurfaced compositions that I hadn’t played or thought about in years, and breathed new life into them, while engaging with the present of where I am in life. Having the quiet time away from the City allowed me to ask myself, what does my soul truly need, what does my soul have to say, and how can I continue to nurture the growth of myself and my art moving forward. I am forever grateful for this powerful experience.
