Lisa DiFranza started her daily painting project in March 2020 when the Covid-19 health crisis emerged. The images she created are a diary of sorts, reflecting internal thoughts and dreams, daily surroundings, and the larger American political landscape, during the pandemic. As a collection, they chronicle the year, and the strange ways time has alternately seemed to slow down, then accelerate, only to slow down again — as the world is being transformed and reinvented.
