"Artists, by nature, are creatures of solitude; happy to isolate from others to better hone their craft.
I imagine the Covid-19 pandemic has done little to disrupt their rhythms; if anything, it has given them more time in their studios to paint, to draw, to model life from wood, leather and clay. 
I wondered if I might honor their work and the patrons that support and encourage them, with photography. I began my pandemic project and named it Sheltering in Place. Practicing safe distancing, I recorded a few moments of their world and the creative processes they use to produce Art."                                                           
                                                                                                                    - Dennis Shekinah
