Sara Morsey Art extends into audiobook narration...

Sara Morsey Art extends into audiobook narration...

I began narrating audiobooks professionally way back in the 1980's when I auditioned and was accepted as a narrator at The American Printing House for the Blind/Library of Congress studios in Louisville, KY.  After three years of narrating there during grad school at The University of Louisville (MFA Acting/Theatre Arts) I gave up narration for many years as I worked in regional theatre and was never near a studio for any extended period of time. Well, times have certainly changed. Many actors have home studios now and I, for one, am back in the professional narration business. Check out my titles available on audible.com at the link provided. I'm still "arting" on canvas and onstage as well.

Food for Thought

it’s probably a 1 minute read…from oskar eustis of the ny public…writing about the tandem births of drama and democracy in athens…mere years from each other…seems kinda relevant on the eve of the election…so i thought i’d share:

“…as soon as thespis turned and spoke to someone else, as soon as he invented dialogue, everything changed….the storyteller – who has had this authorial, god-like, unified perspective – isn’t right anymore…his point of view is not the authorial point of view…he is one of two points of view that are on stage…at that juncture we realize that truth resides not in the storyteller—truth resides somehow in the dialogue, in the space between two people…you’re imagining that you’re in my shoes: you empathize with me, and then empathize with whoever I’m talking to…that act – that empathetic leap of imagination – is the democratic act…in order for a democracy to work you have to believe that nobody has a monopoly on the truth…that there is no such thing as an absolute truth – otherwise the whole idea of democracy is nonsensical…all it would be is a compromise…in order to really believe in democracy, you have to believe that truth resides in the dialogue between different points of view…"

this from my friend Tim Altmeyer, actor extraordinaire and prof. at The University of Florida

Summer's Gone

Summer's gone, bring on Fall

this has not been my most prolific time, I've been searching for a new inspiration or way of painting and I can't even get back to the old things now... just in limbo

Snake Bite

here are some new paintings made in the last month

transitions are hard

Sometimes with
the bones of the black
sticks left when the fire
has gone out

someone has written
something new
in the ashes
of your life.

You are not leaving.
Even as the light
fades quickly.
You are arriving.

From "THE JOURNEY" by David Whyte

I posted a whole folder by accident but I'll leave it here

MONDAY, 3PM

this is an old one that has never sold and it always amazes me because I love it and I feel like this about 75 percent of my life....like right now, on Friday (when I suppose you are intended to feel light and gay, who the hell knows?)

Sometimes all I can do is pray

STEALTH

At the request of a critic (who shall remain nameless)(edithwarhol) I am stopping right here and not "putting too much stuff" in this painting.  "I love you just the way you are."  Busy day for an out of work artist/actor/gopher. Stay cool.  It's steamin' out there baby.

MAKES THE WORLD GO

Feeling blue in the Big City, she encountered sweetness and was tickled pink....miracles can happen. Even when the miracle is as simple as a lift in spirits. Well, it's not simple, that. But still it can happen. It WILL HAPPEN TO ME
