Listen to Your Muse!

Cezanne's Snack, watercolor on paper, Susan Giannantonio

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.  And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost."  -- Martha Graham
