‘Alone
Together’
I worked as a nurse in the
time of SARS. My experience during SARS, led me to create a series
of paintings about the challenges nurses faced
as frontline workers. Now, 17 years later, I feel the need as an artist
to respond to Covid-19. It is horrifying that health care professionals
are risking their lives to save ours. At one point, they were forced
to reuse potentially contaminated masks or patch together makeshift ones.
The mask in the painting, ‘Alone Together’ is made from a
coffee filter collaged with words from newspaper articles about COVID
19. I do not have a better medium than my art to express my profound
sadness for the situation the health care workers are experiencing today
as they battle against COVID-19.

‘The
Soul Worker’
A Nurse is a Soul Worker. The mending
of the body is only a fraction of what they accomplish each day.
With their
compassion, kindness,
and specialized skills they encourage and inspire those they work with.
Through their caring, courage and everyday heroism, the act of nursing
becomes a life’s work. The Nurse is transformed into a vehicle
of healing, becoming a Soul Worker.
