Friends, how are you? How have you been coping with this new time and place we are in?

Some of you may have found the motivation to clean out closets and get to those pesky to-do lists. Others might find themselves on the sofa cuddled up with a quilt and a good movie.

Me? I found myself reverting back to making art with my hands. Overwhelmed with the Zoom calls and social media, I’m craving time with paper and ink. I also find that it feels good to reach out to others with this paper and ink. Making prints has made me feel really good this week and sending them out to people has made me feel even better.

Now, more than ever, is the time to share the love. So with that thought in mind, I created a graphic derived from my linocut print that you can use to print your own cards with. You can even send a digital card if you don’t have the paper and envelope! Right now we are all just doing the best we can.

It’s my gift to you—a hug from 6ft away.
