"We Are All In This Together"
My artwork shows that to survive COVID-19
and find a vaccine that will help all of us, we
need to work together: the doctors, government,
and scientists trying to solve the issue, while
people like us staying at home & staying safe.

"Trapped"
This art reflects my feelings and emotions in
2020. I felt trapped by Covid-19, lightning, gusty
winds, wildfires, evacuation orders and multiple
earthquakes. Life was uncertain with all these
around and I was disturbed emotionally. Nature
is always beautiful, but we cannot stand against
its wrath. In spite of the dangers around I felt
safe and comfortable at home with my family.

2022 Pocket Exhibition The Center of What's Possible
Theme: "Surviving COVID"
• Honorable Mention: Are we really that excited to go back to packed malls?
Bennett Roth-Newell Are we really still craving to be out til last call?
"When The Party Goes Away" It might have been your jump-off back in the But that vibe ain't lit when the party goes
(spoken word/mp3) away...
Board meetings on Zoom
Kickin' it via Google
If these are the only options, then resistance would be futile Since any social gatherings met with
disapproval
If you're not falling in line that might call for
your removal...
All my 1099 folks wondering when the gigs
will come back
It's looking like we'll have to pivot and revamp Since the ways we were used to ain't returning in a hurry...
