During the COVID-19 pandemic, I began creating a new, small series of paintings and sketches. I turned my room in my apartment into a home “social-distancing” studio. I began thinking about mother nature, feminine energy, the sun, and her healing powers. I spent a lot of time alone in my home studio creating work in self-quarantine and listening to female musicians while I created small pieces. None of the pieces felt the need to be clean or finished, rather I view them as small parts to a larger series - pieces to help myself process and cope with the current environment.
