Eight Artists:
Reflection and Renewal
 
As we contemplate our Thanksgiving Holiday during the current challenge of Covid 19, we all hope for good health among our families, friends and wider communities.

Art can inspire and sustain us in difficult times.  The eight artists featured in this edition of Scoops reflect upon these times with themes of renewal and inspiration from nature and role models of the past. 

David Berger’s Garden 2, Kathryn Lesh’s Sunflowers, and the familiar mountain and sea landscapes of Renee Jameson (Luminaries), Jen Till (Maiden Bloom) and Maryann Kirkby (Silver Point Rocks I) all remind us of the comfort and courage we find in the natural environment of the region where we are so lucky to live. 

Relationships further strengthen us in such times. Jan Branham (At the Fair) remembers her strong grandmother and her grandmother's friends who faced the challenges of the first World War, the 1918 influenza pandemic, and the Great Depression.  Carletta Carrington Wilson,
a literacy and visual artist, writes a poem to her great-great grandmother, a laundress in the South during the late 1800s, reminding us of the remarkable women who lived through Jim Crow and fought for human rights.

In her abstract piece, Going There, Pam Galvani represents overheard conversations on the streets of Seattle. 
Pam, Jan, Carletta and many others, past and present, express the need to Press On.
