Dear Friends,
We are engaged in a liminal time fraught with confusion, fear, anxiety, and worries about the novel coronavirus. We are limited and unable to visit with friends and family due to social
distancing policies.
Yet as artists, we must realize that our work has never been more important.
As we must isolate ourselves, we can and should make use of this opportunity to focus on our art, to explore new media, to further develop our skills in our primary medium, and to take
advantage of the many virtual tours of the world’s museums available to us all for free on the internet.
The works we create now, during this time of quarantine, will help to explain and define our experiences, not only to one another, but to generations to come.
I want you to know that even though we cannot be together in person, we can be together in our experiences of artistic creation, and through so doing, perhaps we might be able to skew the energies of the universe toward the healing which is so desperately needed right now.
With you in spirit,
John
