In the early days of the pandemic, I began making life drawings after a long period of focusing on

limited to my immediate surroundings—my house and family. For me, the pandemic has
intensified feelings of proximity and distance: close proximity to those I live with, and increased
distance from both friends and strangers. More at www.redlands.edu/artfacultyshow2021.
