I am coping through creating, the only way I know how. In Pennsylvania, all non-essential businesses have been told to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This leaves me in sort of a limbo, wondering when I will be allowed to return to work. Wondering when things will return to “normal”, whatever that is.
In the meantime, the time off work gives me space to create. The space to share with those who are in the same or a similar situation as I. While it is easy to get caught up in worry, I can’t deny the feeling I have that everything will be alright. Maybe its due to the incredibly supportive community i’ve found in Easton, Pennsylvania. Or maybe it’s all the steps we’re taking now, to help flatten the curve, that contributes to easing my worries.
If you’re in the position to support art, now is a fantastic time to do so. There are a lot of people out there (myself included), who don’t know when their next paycheck will come.
I will be offering a limited print run of this, and listing many other framed prints that I have for sale in the next coming week. I will also be offering shipping for everything I have to help maintain social distance during these times.
Thank you for reading. Take care of your family and friends. Take care of yourself.
