Cynthia Farnell and Dan Powell, artists married to each other, present a series of drawings and sculpture created while sheltering in place during the COVID pandemic. Daily meanderings in the woods near their Decatur home and beyond provide intimate meditations on the peace and quiet afforded anyone willing to seek refuge in nature as an antidote to worry and uncertainty. Seen side by side, They present a two views that are linked together through their marriage, proximity, art making, and like-minded devotion to the natural world.
