Ms. Dee

Piece description from the artist

March 2020 the world changed. So did my artwork.
The pandemic has thrown us into a uniquely surreal and voyeuristic world presenting an opportunity for everyone to be their “unmasked” selves—for better or worse.
Zoom changed how we interacted and gave us a new perspective—weirdly intimate, both authentic and contrived at the same time.
With every screenshot captured, I found a different story, a new perspective, and a recognizable silver lining—illuminating the humor, boredom, pathos and beauty that has kept us all connected.

While Ms. Dee may be a dance Teaching Artist, she makes a color statement from head to toe where ever she brings her magic. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised to notice that in the Zoom Room her outfit matched the couch.
