I hope that you will enjoy these photos! Please look for additions on a regular basis. Because there are so many photos to review, the organization of this section will no doubt shift over time.
I begin with photos of my teachers. This collage is on the wall of my studio . . . to the left of my piano. These extraordinary people are with me each day.

* My composition teacher, Nadia Boulanger, outside the Jeu de Paume at the Palais de Fontainebleau in Fontainebleau, France.
