Sanctuary and the loss of innocence

Throughout recorded history, Artists have continued to produced art even in the worst of times such as war, plagues, and pandemics. Sequestered in their homes and studios, artists continued to pick up their brushes and chisels and labored on, writers and poets continued to pen their poems and stories, musicians continued to make music and the dancers danced.

I was scared by this Covid pandemic. I feverishly worked on this piece, exclusively for a year, while in lockdown. Not knowing what the future held, I wanted “Sanctuary and the loss of innocence” to be an iconic piece that spoke to what I experienced during these uncertain times.
