Marianne de Jager

"Thank you for this series and the way you presented it - cool, calm, asking interesting questions and allowing the artists you interviewed to respond in their own way. I especially enjoyed the sessions with Charlie O'Shields, Karen Abend and Misty Olsen. I am also fascinated by the gentle Melanie Rivers and her culture. What a wonderful group of people you got together! I thought the last session where your husband interviewed you was a lovely touch.

So thank you for organising this and for sharing so generously your experience and what you love."

Elizabeth Isaacs Irby
