Art in the Time of Covid
The Cutter & Cutter team threw a genuinely grand opening for our family of three exhibition in St. Augustine Florida, on 19 and 20 March, 2021. It was an experience I won’t soon forget to see the large gallery full of the work of my son Timur, my husband Daud and myself.
The work remains up.
THIS IS SUPER COOL: Use your mouse to manipulate a virtual tour of the exhibition.
During the day we each did casual demos in the gallery. I pulled linoleum prints, Daud drew a Flamenca from memory, and Timur worked on a portrait in oil.
Because of Covid, the Cutter & Cutter team invented a new evening format to keep everyone safe. Group of ten couples were invited into the gallery in 90-minute segments on Friday and Saturday evenings, in which each artist spoke a bit about their work, and Len Cutter introduced each artist from the gallery’s perspective. Gallery director Nicole Wolfe and her team made everyone welcome, and managed the brisk sales with grace. My thanks to the gallery for the extraordinarily beautiful presentation of the work, and the management of the collectors and our own entourage during the weekend.

Happy Spring to each of you and your loved ones. We are now back in Spain, vaccinated, and hoping that the era of Covid will soon end.
With affection and good will,
