“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” – Pablo Picasso
As Coronavirus statistics and images continue to occupy our television screens, our social media feeds, and almost every waking moment of our lives; it is the artists around us who are bringing their creativity to bear in ways that offer us thought-provoking glimpses of beauty, joy, light, whimsy, color, and form. Their time-honed skills provide us with some much-needed breathing space from the relentless barrage of anxiety-inducing news, and their mastery of craft transports our minds to calming places where we can engage in some self care.
