THE FLOWERS FOR SANTA FE PROJECT

of the Santa Fe Artists’ Medical Fund

During the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020, the artists of Santa Fe embarked on a project to paint flowers for the patients of the hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities of Santa Fe.  Since live plants and flower bouquets were banned due to the Covid 19 crisis, the artists of Santa Fe painted flowers as unexpected gifts for everyone.  And, since many residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities were quarantined to their rooms and guests were banned, the isolation was enormous.  Hopefully, the flower paintings will bring a bit of color, energy and joy to all.  I am proud to be one of those artists giving back to my community and the unfortunate.
