Ellie Martin: Verdant
by Dan Bilawsky
There is no time like the present to fulfill your dreams. The hands we are dealt often have a way of making that clear, as vocalist, composer and educator Ellie Martin knows all too well. After receiving a cancer diagnosis, beating the disease, starting a family and finding joy in watching her children bask in the beauty of their present, she realized that practicing carpe diem was the only proper way to carry on.
