Hey COVID! In spite of you we will flip this thing around.

2021 has come and gone. A tough year for many and on the flipside, plenty of learning curves too.

Twice in 2021 we thought we had gotten past the pandemic only to be thwarted. Wanting to believe and having my hopes up that life was returning to normal, those were disheartening times. Reconnecting with family and friends or being able to go out to something as simple as dinner and a movie was a welcome return to normalcy. The world of travel was opening up. Live art shows were starting to happen. Even with limited capacity, all of these activities were a welcome sight. Being optimistic, all of these activities will be a welcome sight again.

When it comes to my art practice, COVID has pushed me and continues to push me forward in my online presence. My favourite part of painting is …. the act of painting and creating, not trying to figure out social media and my website. As such, going online with my art has proven to be a challenge. However, learning these new skills is “a necessary evil” (as I like to call it).

So going forward in 2022, I will continue growing my art practice in the online world AND I hope to connect with art aficionados in person at future live art shows.

Wishing all of you good health, happiness and prosperity in 2022.

Creatively yours,

Ramona
