My artwork in general is colorful, abstract, and unrestrained. I found a way to turn it into art that boosts our optimism and overall morale during these times of such negativity.We can find optimism in organic\/geometric shapes and lines, and having no restraints can be a positive aspect in our lives. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-third_column wp-image-3946 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Fight-Against-Coronavirus-364x413.png\" alt=\"An abstract composition with flowers and urban motifs\" width=\"364\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Fight-Against-Coronavirus-364x413.png 364w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Fight-Against-Coronavirus-265x300.png 265w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Fight-Against-Coronavirus.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/>I have also made precautions and safety procedures a priority. I still struggle with anxiety, stabilizing a sleeping cycle, minor weight gain, and monetary security. The restaurant where I work has been working very hard in these difficult times. I have completed my quarantine and have rejoined them to keep people fed. I miss being able to visit family, interact without restrictions, walk my dog for longer periods, and visit my favorite locations and businesses. I also miss being able to stay out longer in my spare time and interact with nature. My mother&#8217;s strong recovery from covid-19 and people engaging and responding to my artwork are two silver linings in my life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3949\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-3-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-3-364x486.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-3-500x667.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-third_column wp-image-3948 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-2-Version-2-01-364x485.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"364\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-2-Version-2-01-364x485.png 364w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-2-Version-2-01-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-2-Version-2-01-500x666.png 500w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2020\/05\/Lismary-Perez-Quarantined-Orchid-2-Version-2-01.png 601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have taken advantage of time indoors to expand in my career as a fine artist.
