The COVID-19 pandemic has, among other things, contributed a great deal of isolation for many members of our Calgary community, but for some people, this isolation was always a way of life, and has only become stronger with the enforcement of widespread social restrictions. Penny Gunderson is a local artist who works in a number of different art mediums including slow stitching, encaustic or hot wax painting, fibre, and fabric printing. Her interest has recently turned towards the problem of isolation and the importance of women being able to connect with other women for social and cultural support.
