It's an interview of me and where things are at with my work, given the virus. Metropolitan Frame is a custom frame shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota that produces most of the frames I use these days, including the one above. Their work is flawless and fits my work well.

Art Opening, March 7, 2020. Photo © Eugenie Frerichs My recent show at Smith and Vallee Gallery  opened March 7th, right as the Coronavirus was arriving in our region. The gallery closed on March 16th and the show is just now coming down. Despite the difficulties, it was a deep pleasure to show this body of work. A painting show takes over a year to produce and involves countless hours of contemplation, solitude, deep focus, work. Following that there's more contemplation and deep focus as you think through how to talk about what you do and created. I'm proud of this show and so grateful to the buyers for their support. Be well everyone! Lisa
