@amberlauderart: After 2020, I had to relearn that I loved being around other people. I had to remind myself that there’s magic in small interactions. Even if we don’t know each other and we’re just existing in the same space for a short time, there’s an energy there that you can’t experience solo. Just being with other people matters. It sounds simple and “like, duh”, but it took many corrective experiences for me to get there. I savor those moments now. The energy in the park earlier this week was the perfect example of this 🙂 I love New York. So many opportunities for togetherness in this way. Mixed media work by me. Printer paper and acrylic paint pens.
