From the Artist: As the world struggles and learns to adjust to a new way of living during the Covid-19 pandemic, the idea of home being a place of sanctuary has evolved. For some, their home has turned from a haven to a prison. The coffee shop, bars, that cozy bookshop on the corner – all have either been inaccessible or just do not feel the same as before. My submitted piece, “Beautiful Dreamer,” explores the idea of a mental sanctuary amidst chaos. Suddenly finding more time at home than I knew what to do with, I discovered meditation and grounding techniques to calm and focus my restless energy. In my body of work I paint a round, sometimes fragmented shape to depict the sun or moon in my abstract landscapes. This piece portrays my grounded self - that shape is a light, as something taken in and given out into the world again – what we give out is what we get and vice versa. The four straight lines represent balance and stability; the ability to manage complicated emotions related to last year
