I do historical photo restoration so I embellished this subject for a timely statement.

I think we need a peaceful place to shelter in. Love and hope to all.

We’re staying inside, looking out of our windows at the world around us. At times it feels as if we’re worlds apart, but really we’re all TOGETHER...unable to touch, but reaching out in countless ways to defeat this deadly virus and survive. Peace, Love and Compassion will prevail!

This pandemic that we are living in right now inspired me to create my artwork, Quarantine. I wanted to show what people are afraid of and how it has spread across the world. In order to deal with this worldwide problem, many people wear masks to try to better protect themselves from the virus.

The theme is today’s situation expressed in à rose window after seeing a short film on Notre Dame de Paris and its cleaning since April 14! I designed the structure with the North Rose window as a guide yet eliminating the last row of stain glass as my support lacked the space. The elements of fire, water, air and land are expressed. Others relate to rules imposed to slow contamination such as confinement, masks. I used a side of a coin newly stamped in France celebrating the men and women in first position to control and save those carrying the virus. Another positive happening is the family being together. Sta. Corona from Italy is a saint we will remember in this year 2020 whose mission is to cure infections and diseases.

I wondered what Robots would think and feel during a Pandemic if they could catch a potentially fatal illness. I tried to capture that fear and uncertainty in their eyes and body language.

I began with circles as a basic idea never thinking they would become, cells of isolation,during this covid 19 pandemic! But,here we are!

This abstract piece evolved before Covid virus became our new reality. I felt that it reflects the chaos of a pandemic, not unlike a hurricane, including the constant news feed.

This painting is about Patient Zero, the first case of Covid-19 and how quickly a virus can spread without even knowing. And the importance of containing an epidemic in the early stages of progression.

So many people are alone now and many are finding new things to learn and do that define them. Like the solitary pot sprouting a new tree, they've discovered new purpose in their lives.

Social distancing is fast becoming a way of life. "Disconnected" shows that even though a family unit is apart, they are still one.

This photo was taken on March 9th, on a long-planned trip to New York City. Who knew then about the tragedy that was just around the corner?

I have enjoyed the pleasure of my own company on many recent beach walks due to social distancing. But when I start talking to myself, I will begin to worry!

One of the many things I am missing are my morning walks on the beach to see the sea turtle trails in the sand. The Traveler was inspired by a visit to the Canaveral National Seashore during nesting season. The one true constant is that nature will prevail and life goes on.

Collage with Hand Painted Papers on Canvas

As the month of March dragged on and we were confined to the house, I became very despondent. A note from a dear friend, Lidia, contained a reminder that in times of loss and isolation, we are really never alone. We can reach out to others who love us. Her note ended with a quote from scripture, which said that we "never walk alone." I recalled that passage and how it opened: with the word, "Beloved."

As news of this pandemic started to reach us, my pet yellow Labrador of twelve years went into end-stage renal failure and died. It was very sad. She was a wonderful and powerful dog, who brought us much love and loyalty. We were broken-hearted. I reminiscenced when I returned to the studio about happier times and funny stories about our dog, Beela. Hanging onto those joyous memories helped make the grieving easier. I returned to a story about a naughty Labrador, Marley & Me, that was so reminiscent of our Beela. And I produced The Sugar Of Memory.

As fate would have it, my husband somewhat surreptitiously started investigating Labrador puppies after Beela's passing. He was persistent and, probably, tired of my wailing over the loss of Beela and our inability to travel to our daughter, who is very pregnant and due to deliver soon. So what better time to adopt a puppy and train her than when you are confined to home, he explained. I relented. We adopted another Labrador, a precocious and smart black one: Layla, which means "night" and "dark-haired, in Persian or Arabian. I returned to my reading, this time finding a poem by Justin Farley, The Light In The Darkness, which was very comforting. And this prompted me to produce Hope Rises, a 38 inch square collage with hand painted papers on canvas.

My whimsical painting is of happier times, when we walked together, traveled together. learned together and shared our lives in closeness and intimacy. These days will come again.

In the darkness of this dark, horrific pandemic, I seek to find color and hope. The rose to me, represents love and hope.

Acrylics and inks bleed across the saturated canvas, forming tactile scabs and dense ulcers across the landscape.
