Sketches of My Life
by Connie Scanlon
Connie Scanlon grew up in South Lincoln, Maine. She is a graduate of Mattanawcook Academy and entered Boston Conservatory at the age of seventeen, where she received her Bachelor of Music, piano. She received her master’s degree from the New England Conservatory in 1974 and was a student of Katja Andy.
Inspired by old handwritten letters found in the bookcase as a child and the sound of the freight train passing through Lincoln, she was determined to explore new possibilities. As life moved onward, the adventures of traveling and her unquenchable desire to gain more insight into music, cultures, and people inspired her to keep her backpack handy. Her experience as a teacher, a performer, a healer, a businesswoman, and a spontaneous traveler reverberates throughout the pages of this book. Her destiny was Europe.
An endless search for the source of inspiration, the lost chord, the Holy Grail, has colored her life with many unforgettable experiences.
She now permanently lives in the Netherlands with her partner, Lia, and enjoys the spirit of Maine streaming vigorously through her veins.
Spirituality is normality, humor is the twist,
Life; joy, tears, sorrow, and laughter. More on the list?
Love is the basis, begin with yourself,
Open your heart, breathe the warmth,
Your smile, unconditional wealth.
