" W e were so fortunate to have the gifted Arlene S her m an  as our produce r .  She  allowed us to flourish as art i s t s & to write our own stories & song s, & use our own  compose r  s ,  voice act or s  , &  music i an s  . N ear the end of our time there , I told her that I was transition in g to work in g digitally , & hope d I could make a new piece in that style .  She  came to the studio to see what I was work in g on & gave me the go - a head to make my first digital piece . I some time s wonder how it would have impacted my exploration s in that direct i on if she had wanted me to keep draw in g . "
