Many of us have experienced restrictions on movement and social contact during the pandemic. Talk about any restrictions that have especially affected you.

<strong> I am a painter, with a studio in a large artists building. The community there has been supportive and social.</strong> We always gathered for lunch at 1 o'clock in our common area. There was conversation, laughter, arguements, inspiration. <strong> Since the pandemic, our building is deserted.</strong> The few times I've gone in since March there's rarely anyone working. Of course, lunch gatherings are out, but even more crucial is the fact that<strong> very few artists I know are even motivated to make art. It's like the pandemic has sucked out our creativity or need to make art at all.</strong>
