On March 24th, 2020 we got a call from our daughters’ family in NC, urging us to come down and be with her family out of concern for our well being, as well as her need with help for her five-month-old daughter.

On March 26th, armed with masks and gloves we headed out for the 10 hour trip to NC, Mo Mo our dog, and contents of our refrigerator in tow.

Little did we know that 4 months later we would still be here. A blessing in disguise, for we have gotten the gifts of watching our grandchild grow, being with Toni and Sara, starting a flower garden with much of Normans’ toil, and for me painting. I would say I have been quite prolific during this time, and I share with you my produce.

These paintings are part of a series that started in April 2020, all were completed during the COVID pandemic, as a way to navigate through fear and change.

Making art has always been an integral part of Lila Bacon’s life. From the time she was a child, she knew it was a tool, a way of channeling the world around her, through her vision. She always felt extremely lucky and blessed to have this friend, this lucky penny in her back pocket.... this drive to guide her along the road of her life.
