"COVID Quilt | Couette COVID" 100 x 80 x 0.4 inch Created: 2020-21 Posted: 10 Apr 2021 Creator: Pat Kelly Click images for full resolution. I am a novice quilter, having started a few years ago, when I was in treatment for ovarian cancer. After surgery in Ottawa, I had had to move in with my daughter in Owen Sound, for 6 months of chemotherapy. My daughter was doing her residency in rural medicine, and I was often alone in a town where neither she nor I had any friends. I took up quilting after seeing a sign in a local shop window for a quilters guild that offered lessons.I was the only student in the quilting class, and as I lost my hair, those wonderful women wrapped me in friendship as I spent hours creating what would become my first baby quilt. After chemo, I returned to Ottawa and my role as Resident Friend with the Ottawa Monthly Meeting of Quakers, and continued making quilts for family and friends, in the lovely sun-lit library on the top of our old Victorian Meeting House. Since COVID hit, there has been lots of time to spend alone, under the skylight and listening to CBC and Audible. As a former research technologist, I was inspired by the electron microscopy images of the covid molecule that is covered with spikes on the cell surface that cleave to the molecule.

"Burning bush - - Stillpoint, Nov 2018" Oil on stretched canvas Created: 2021 Posted: 3 Mar 2021 Creator: Steve Fick Click images for full resolution. For many years, members of our family have regularly frequented a small retreat house called Stillpoint House of Prayer on Calabogie Road. It's on a bend in the Madawaska River. Spending time there is absolutely one of my most favourite things. I painted this small painting as a gift to the nuns who run it. 
"Do I Dare" Watercolour Created: 2014 Posted: 26 Feb 2021 Creator: Meed Barnett Click images for full resolution. I am from Woodstock, New York, a small town in the Catskill Mountains. The Paintings I share here depict various places in the mountains that are important to me. This is the Fawn's Leap in the Kaaterskill Clove. The painting depicts the day I summoned the courage to make my first leap into the 30-foot deep water below. I was 11 years old.

"Ruin of the Overlook Mountain House" Watercolour Created: 2008 Posted: 26 Feb 2021 Creator: Meed Barnett Click images for full resolution. Mountaintop resort hotels once flourished in the Catskills. Many of them were of wood frame construction, and were destroyed by fire, as there are no fire departments on mountaintops. The Overlook Mountain House burned down twice. The owners decided to rebuild using poured concrete construction. Unfortunately, they lost all their money in the Great Depression and the hotel was never completely finished. It fell to ruin and was heavily looted by valley folks. When I was a child, the floors, rooms and stairways were still intact. Some time in the '60s, deeming the building a public menace, the authorities gutted it by fire. This painting depicts all that is left. 
"Poet's Walk" Watercolour Created: 2015 Posted: 26 Feb 2021 Creator: Meed Barnett Click images for full resolution. This lovely structure is a place for quiet meditation on the east side of the Hudson River. From its roof, one would see over the trees to the river. The high Catskills rise in the background. (My brother was one of the builder/planners of Poet's Walk.)

"Many Hands for Fourth Space" Watercolour Created: Feb 2020 Posted: 24 Feb 2021 Creator: Maria Gomez-Umana Click images for full resolution. Have you taken a close look at your hands? Hands are stupendous sensing tools that make, solve, communicate, feel. Hands marked the passage between primitive life and mastery of fire in prehistory. Nowadays, in the digital era, our digits are still the ones that making history. Many Hands is a quiet tribute to the hands of people that have built the city of Ottawa throughout time. The hands represent many locals and migrants have created the culture and the city we enjoy today, with its many flavours and textures. The patterns on the background and on the skin reflect one aspect of the multiethnicity of the city. The textile art is based on South American cultures that traditionally use geometric patterns, where I originally come from. The designs integrate onto the colours of skin, as textiles enveloping the body, to celebrate our diversity and to enhance multiple identities.

"Oxygen" Oil on stretched canvas Created: 2016 Posted: 10 Dec 2020 Creator: Steve Fick Click image for full resolution. It was late on a summer night, and I was lying near the open window at a rural retreat centre. As I breathed in the beautiful, fresh air, I realized that some of the molecules of oxygen that were freshening my blood were undoubtedly emitted by the grasses, shrubs and trees in the beautiful fields and groves through which I had walked earlier in the day. I experienced a visceral connection to these green things, and I felt it truly as a kind of love that I was taking in.
