Making art to soothe the anxiety of staying home to stop the spread of Covid19, which has killed thousands around the world, and sickened many more.

So grateful for my art studio, in my home with family that isn’t sick, and plenty to eat…

Painting keeps me sane!

Here we are, the whole world dealing with the novel corona-virus pandemic. American (and global) life has changed. We are all staying home to stop the spread. The economy has tanked, businesses are shuttered for an unknowable amount of time. Travel is discouraged, and forbidden in many places. Cabin fever is a constant these days. My partner and I are among the lucky ones right now. We have a roof over our heads and plenty to eat. Our Social Security payments are keeping us afloat as our retirement accounts are losing value at an alarming rate.

One big positive for me, however, is that I have plenty of time to paint! My studio has lots of table space and two easels to work on. I stocked up on paint and other supplies shortly before the world shifted its paradigm to an experience of uncertainty unlike anything I’ve ever known.
