Fear and Seperation and more art by Carol Heft

This has been a time of reflection and self-assessment, as well as an opportunity to reach out to friends, students, teachers, colleagues and family. The other side of the physical isolation we are experiencing, is the strength and love we share with each other. I have found myself connecting with others in a deeper way than before the pandemic, a crisis which, unlike localized war, famine or political upheaval, directly impacts all of us. In my recent work I find myself focused on the power and pathos of the figure, in drawing, to convey both despair and hope.
