LIFE DURING COVID-19:
STORIES OF THE EVERYDAY

We're in the middle of a historical moment of collective experience and trauma.

So many people have been struggling over the past few weeks to make sense of what's happening in their personal lives during the COVID-19 pandemic but also at more social levels.

As an artist, I realized I could offer a space where people could share stories about their pandemic experiences — as a way to document and reflect on what's happened and will happen.
But also as an offering:
I'd like to use your story as inspiration in my own artwork.
Specifically, I'd read your story and think about it for awhile. Then, I'd write a poem and draw an illustration that captures the heart of it in some way.

My goal is to create pieces of art that explore how people around the world react to, cope with, and think about what's happened in the past several weeks and what will happen in the future.
Essentially, we'd collaborate to uncover insights from stories about everyday life — insights that may inspire or comfort others or let them know they're not alone in all this.
Want to share your story?
Let's collaborate to create art about life during the pandemic.

Will my story be public?
Your story can be anonymous, but I'd love to recognize your role in the process.
So let me know if you'd be willing to share your story publicly in your own words.
How do I share my story?

Simply choose a topic below.
There are two specific topics but also an "open" category if you'd like to talk about something different.
In that case, I'll pair your story with my own artwork in the final prints.
Then click "Share My Story" under the topic you want.
Your story can be short or long — however you feel like responding. I just want to hear from you in your own words.
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
