What does the hashtag #artmakesmeconnected mean? "Art is every part of my life! It connects me to the subject I'm painting like landscapes, animals, flowers, pets, etc. It also connects me to other artists and people who just like looking at artwork. During the pandemic, art has become an almost everyday thing I use to mark the end of my "work from home" workday. Painting this mural has allowed me to spend time with my mother, another artist, on a more regular basis as she helped me with supplies and encouragement. I've also reconnected to my love of a good merlot and my desire to travel to Italy." - Tamera Rooney
