On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Within a week, businesses, restaurants, schools and parks were closed and social distancing became a way of life. Now in mid-May restrictions are gradually being lifted and Victoria is emerging into a new state of balance. Under 2020 Events find are two COVID-19 related articles I wrote for Focus on Line during March/April 2020.

Hi Kate. You are doing a wonderful job on your art blog!! I am impressed by the flow in your writing. I like how you include the artist's vision of their work through well-placed quotes, while sticking to your own observations and insights into the works.

In 2013, Kate profiled my career as a BC visual artist with a Studio Visit webpage. Kate has a keen sense of design and skillfully combines text with excellent photography. Webpage updates are feely given. My Studio Visit assisted me with documentation, writing support and vital encouragement. Roberta's Studio Visit
