These are strange and difficult times, not only with COVID-19. My heart feels heavy with how much racism still permeates our society. My hope is that a move toward real and systemic change will happen.
For myself, I am going to be more aware of my privilege and power–and do all I can to make change and speak out where I can. Here is an infographic about the simple but very important act of speaking out.

I am currently part of a digital art show called Strange Times Online Exhibit. Where I painted a picture about hope–a better place and time.
