Story / Additional InfoSheltering was created during the Covid sheltering in place time in 2020. The artist spent much of this time in her studio working- a very productive time for her. But she felt the toll as did others of aloneness which is reflected in this painting. The vibrant colors allude to the life she was used to with friends and family. The horizontal and vertical lines on the right side represent the feelings of being locked in. The mood is subdued, but there is also much hope for this difficult time to end and normal life to proceed as reflected in the sunrise.
