"During the two-and-a-half month period of home shelter, it became apparent that even the smallest activities, like taking walks with the family around the neighborhood, was a big deal. We became upstart birders, learning different calls, searching obsessively for cardinals, carrying cameras. Before long we were putting up feeders in the back yard. These birds, humble in size but potent in meaning, are perfect subjects for the small paintings on books that continued to develop in the studio . . . This scarlet-headed finch, a committed visitor to that new feeder, is now our Pandemic Patron Saint."

"During this Covid time, I am walking a lot in my neighborhood and working on drawings in my studio. I am taking iphone photos of both activities, recording the looking and the making . . . Some very interesting visual conversations between the two spaces are happening on my devices. These Visual Quilt Grids currently sit on my Instagram and Facebook feeds. I have experimented with printing them out at 6 x 6 inches on photo paper. "
