APRIL 2021
Dear Friends and Art Patrons,
As we inch ourselves towards a new normal, I am literally holding my breath to see what spring has in store: galleries open again with gorgeous art on the walls, new and exciting shows that are truly being hung after a year of being virtual, opportunities to be in the fresh air as the temps warm and the sun shines. I feel like we are all waking from some long, dreary hibernation. Cautiously, we open one eye to the bright sunlight that has finally been allowed in.
I am ever so grateful to have been teaching since the summer via Zoom, with full classes and workshops, and though I will continue my weekly classes through May, I am now toying with what it will look and feel like when I teach in person again. Someone told me today “re-entry will be hard for us all”…
In the meantime, I will keep painting. I’ve got new papers to try, new supplies to experiment with, new things to learn and new people to learn from. I need to expand my 'art horizons'! (I don’t know how some artists paint the same subject over and over; I get bored easily). In the meantime, I’m honored to have paintings in many shows and to be asked to jury upcoming exhibits.
Open the windows and let spring in! We’ve waited over a year for this feeling.
-Jeri
