Abstract

Lisa Markley, a.k.a. 'Miz Markley', is a genuinely happy person even if she is not particularly financially successful as a musician. In an effort to validate my own choices as an artist, I chose to follow her. What was intended to be a portrait of a working musician, becomes instead a feminist musical essay film about the transformative power of art making. Advisors/Committee Members: Levin, Carolyn M, Levin, Ben, Larke-Walsh, Sandra G, Murphy, John.
