It would seem that the pandemic has accomplished the unimaginable--it clipped our wings, stripped away our illusion of invulnerability and brought humanity back down to earth. As if by Nature’s cough, countless lives have been ruined and micro-companies snuffed out before ever glimpsing their true potential. Even scores of once-mighty corporations, formerly seen as unassailable bastions of fiscal power, have been toppled from their ivory towers and now litter the smouldering economic landscape like helpless, terminally-cracked Humpty-Dumpties. 

This month the Pacific Journal of Medical Sciences (PJMS) published my article, Commentary: The New Coronavirus COVID-19.

Starting out not long ago as a visual artist, I found it to be creatively very fulfilling. There were many artistic discoveries that helped me find my true self and when it came to my network, some people were supportive and some were not comfortable acknowledging it. A friend once told me, that because art evokes feelings and deep imagination, it can affect those who are not ready to be expressive. So be ready to take criticism and rejection as part of the process.
