She’s deaf. This talk was inspiring, as an artist myself – first a musician growing up (and currently), and now a photographer biased towards the performing arts and shooting work to keep people interested in it.

saw Evelyn in Perth Western Australia many years ago and she was amazing …… dressed in leather and bar feet ….. the feel of the beats, subtle and gentle then forceful and vibrant. The concert hall has amazing acoustics and the show was quite unique and incredibly memorable. If you have the chance to see her play …. DONT MISS IT!!!!!
