I used to have a busy life. My mother would be rushing me to clarinet lessons, dance class, and theater club meetings. Music was my passion in early high school. I would fill the room with the rich chocolate sound of my instrument. The notes came off the page. The years have changed and so has my passion. I'm a painter now. I relax by day and paint by night. Sometimes I see the image of my future paintings in the blank white canvas. The feeling I get from painting is something I can't put into words. In a way the passion I had for music is still there. The brushstrokes became the clarinet notes in my symphony of paint.
