Long before I went to music school and started making my dreams reality, I longed for art and for the wisdom artists impart. I used to have a blog called Soprano in the City, and on that blog, I catalogued wonderful performances all around NYC—from the MET’s opera stage to Trinity Wall Street. I also interviewed incredible people who had made their dreams reality. I still look to artists as people to admire, to learn from, and to dream alongside with.
Even though I am not resurrecting that old blog here on this website, there are a few pieces that stand out and deserve their place even now on my own artist website.
One of those pieces is my interview with the incredible Colette Lumiere, visionary artist, dreamer, woman, and all-around template for how to live an extraordinary, creative life. I still look to people like her for inspiration, and I want to pay homage, because those who paved the way and are still paving the way deserve mention. I am proud to keep them alive alongside my dream. Thank you to the artists, for living so outrageously and so beautifully.
I would not be going after my dream had I not sought out and met people like Colette, who inspire and who never stop creating. For this reason, I’ll always interview artists, to show that creativity is beautiful, essential, requires sacrifice, and deserves to be celebrated. Where would this world be without the artists?
Thank you to the artists, always and forever.
