I am very fortunate to have my studio where I live so I am able to keep working. My studio has always been my refuge, my retreat, my place to hang out and be solitary and think. So that has not changed - except in some ways it has. At times now it feels, not like a prison, that is too strong, but as a place I wish I could sometimes get away from!! Funny that, I love to be alone but tell me I have to - and all of a sudden I rebel! Most of all though, I am grateful to be able to continue to make art.
My world may be smaller, but it still has its joys. I have my garden where I can enjoy the sunlight and fresh air and have the pleasure of watching new life emerge after the long winter.
Still drinking my latte every morning and craving chips like never before! (Fortunately I don't have any!)
I am painting still, but also exploring three dimensions. Making small cardboard sculptures, which are challenging me to think about space in new ways.
What do I miss most during this time of isolation? Long walks by the lake or in the ravines, and especially, being able to hug my family.
