This monstrous virus stopped us in our tracks. What an irony that the biggest sign of all, a global pandemic, does not figure into the artwork on exhibition. Certainly its presence changed the timing of our show. We began as an online exhibition and just now have been able to see it realized in the gallery space. The work I selected for\u00a0<i>Signs of the Times\u00a0<\/i>aligns primarily along social and environmental issues, leavened with a bit of the order and chaos of abstraction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\"><b>Women<\/b><br \/>We start, as always, with women.
