Our Ever Changing World

I believe that Artists are in some way Historians...that their work saves something from becoming forgotten. And, artists tell stories all the time in their art, words, visuals. --------------- The year 2020: A year seen as "a moment in time' all by itself, a year of unprecedented change. A moment that was aggravated by uncertainty, fear, and a paranoia not experienced in my lifetime.------------- I found it hard to begin the production on this book for many reasons. Several very special people to me, passed away. I would find that as I was reviewing the stories, that my eyes were bluring, tears were rolling down my cheeks and I would stop.------------------This years stories have a bit heavier social political comments, I view this as being the dark cloud that was over our heads. So much confusion and uncertainty, things that go along with change and that we had by the bucket-full in 2020.------------ Participating Artists: Laura Larson, Kerrie Smith, Jan Book, Sheila Fein.
