“Yesterday was a rough one. Had personally received news of too many deaths within my own earthly experience. It really set the tone for these three pieces I did. “Everything dies”.

I’m no scientist and don’t know if that’s fact but I what I do know is we are all fragile. That the smallest of creatures and viruses can wipe us out and that’s scary for me. It really calls for me to be more aware of what’s important. This pandemic has really taught me personally to not sweat the small stuff. I finally get that line. I hope you are all well and safe. Sending love.” .

What’s inspiring you today? .

HEIDI BERGER

During this time of Covid-19 isolation, I created a series of watercolour portraits (11" x 15") of Barbadian artists.

I am offering these pieces for sale at Bds $250 each (plus shipping).

All proceeds will go to support the artist community of Barbados by buying other art, providing art supplies, etc.
