Christine, we met at PAFA in the lounge area, when we were both there. I was MFA '97. Hope you remember (www.judith-jacobson.com). I have followed your work ever since. I am a painter who knows many "artists." I am a painter who likes only a few. I just watched the entire video. (My hair looks like yours! I call mine Covid-red, with a halo of grey surrounding my face. Actually, I look like Moses in the Ten Commandments, when he comes down from the mountain!) What I really want to say is how I admire you and your work. There seems to be such a spirituality that is within you and certainly is in your work. I never heard you speak at great length, but the light and joy and depth of understanding of heritage, this morbid pandemic and its effect on you and all of us, has greatly impacted me. Your work comes from a deep place within you and is infinitely connected to wherever you are, whatever you do and all that you behold. This is, of course, speculation, but I am always uplifted by your color, brushwork, spontaneity and light, to touch on only some of the incredible aspects of your painting. Your drawing is moving, as well, almost reminiscent of Dickenson. I loved hearing you expound on your family, connections and ... life. You are a bright light in this world and brilliant!! Warm regards and stay well! Judith
