How has the pandemic affected you?

The pandemic has heightened my sense to beauty. When things start going crazy fast, you have to take a step out and find your art and stay focused on the things you do well.

What has brought you joy during this time?

I have been able to share my artwork on two levels: one is online puzzles, which I have been doing since the start of this pandemic. There have been over 70 puzzles done to date and I have many more to share. It’s a winning feeling when I have people asking for more. Secondly, I have been able to drop off over 200 frameable posters at some of our local nursing homes for the residents. They really appreciate these and have sent me messages of thanks. It has brought me joy.
