Drake Pyburn, age 9
Digital Painting

"Drake, since first he knew of their existence, has loved fish -- and he loves fishing and searching for any critters in the water he can find. Much of what he loves about fish is their colors and of course the vibrant colors of lures and flies. He paints them all, all the time, usually in watercolors, but this was done using the computer program 'Paint'."

Oil on Canvas

"The medical worker must face the fire, which not only represents the virus, but also the chaos it has created. Many people have decided to howl every night at 8 pm to show support for front line workers, which is why there are howling wolves behind the medical worker. My mom is a nurse, and I feel as though every time a medical worker goes to work to maintain the “fire,” they end up catching fire and bringing a bit of chaos home everyday, and it’s very eye-opening for me to see the effects of the chaos through my mom’s eyes. This medical worker in the painting can’t look away from the “fire,” but can hear the howls of support, which, coming from my mom, a medical worker, helps with putting out this 'fire.'"
