I am sitting in our living room and gaze across at the dining table which now serves as my office desk. (I’ve never spent so much time at the dining room table as I have during the last few weeks.)

I also gaze upon the artwork that surrounds me and some of the studio glass in the room.

There’s the Blue Cloud by the glass artist Nancy Callan. It was one of first pieces in our modest collection and one of my favorites.

I always marvel at the beauty of the work. Nowadays I stare at it and allow the cloud to take me away to friends and family.

Art in the time of pandemic — enjoy it and allow it to transform you.
