During this pandemic, I have come to realize the value of friendship, and how I miss Fridays with the “Framily”. Zoom calls and emails help, but I also miss the shared creative process. Doing art during this time gives such a sense of satisfaction, elevating its importance in the greater scheme of things. I feel very fortunate to have had so many years with Sybil at Joshua Creek, which, in a way, prepared me for going solo during this difficult time.
