Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.
During the pandemic, it was important for me to focus on nature and creating art. It also felt important to start a big project that would require steady discipline to complete, and it centered me to work on the mural daily, in pieces. I worked to capture the vivid flowers that bloom in our garden at various times of the year-which I had observed directly and sketched. It took me over three months to complete, making my time in lock down richer, and giving me a sense of purpose and ease.
