Artwork created by Heidi Wolfe. "For my piece I have chosen to design some tarot cards based on what is happening with Covid-19 and what has happened. I choose to do tarot cards because they are guides to what could happen to you, so whether you believe them or not you better pay attention if the outcome is bad. The first card I have chosen to design is Justice, while I was reading through my tarot card book the part that stood out to me was “Actions have consequences and cause is followed by effect”, reading that got me to think about how China, when Covid-19 started becoming a thing, hid the fact there was a deadly virus amidst in our world. Their choices to hide it from the world caused it to only spread right under everyone's noses and infect millions of people. To go with these ideas I drew an owl sitting on a fence holding a case file marked with the COVID-19 virus. The owl here it is portrayed as a mysterious being, it holds the file folder between its beak as a symbol to the whole COVID-19 virus being a hidden mystery from everyone, It is also believed, among the Kikuyu of Kenya, that owls were bringers of death, ill-health, and bad luck, it was never a good sign to see or hear them. The rain pouring down onto the owl and fence represents a somber and mellow feeling, rain to many people is related to sadness, and the color blue links to this somber feeling as well."

Artwork created by Heidi Wolfe. "For my piece I have chosen to design some tarot cards based on what is happening with Covid-19 and what has happened. The Hermit, this card talks about a time in your life where you’re looking inward instead of outward for answers, you look to your inner self to find answers of who you truly are, this really links back to today and what’s happening in pretty much everyone’s lives. The butterfly, in many cultures, is a symbol for one’s soul, many also believe it represents life and change. The butterfly is trapped under a net, as we are trapped in our houses, so what better to do than re-think life to do some soul-searching and find out who you truly are like the butterfly is doing. Many at this time have taken this imprisonment as a chance to look inward into themselves to find who they are, to work on bad habits, and to change their life for the better."

Mixed media art created by Lauren Jahnke and inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic. "Description of Art Piece “Coronavirus 2020” by Lauren R. Jahnke [Acrylic paints and collage of newspaper articles and headlines on 12”x12” cardboard] I made this art piece in April 2020 from newspaper articles and headlines cut out from the Austin American-Statesman in March and April 2020, when it was getting overwhelming and surreal to see practically every newspaper article talking about some aspect of the coronavirus pandemic and the unprecedented response to it. I started seeing patterns and repeated words, and felt I needed to cut out some of the text to save for posterity. (The large file size of the two photos allows viewers to zoom in to read the text on the front and back of the piece.) I also kept seeing graphics of the virus itself, so wanted to paint stylized versions of the virus on top of the headlines. As an artist as well as a health policy researcher/writer, this piece ties together my interests and helped me to think about things in perspective while keeping my hands busy while home-bound. At this writing in May 2020, the pandemic still dominates the news and will for the foreseeable future, but things are starting to feel more normal in some ways, with fewer lines and shortages at the grocery stores for example, and as people learn to adapt. Despite this, we still have a long way to go in areas such as understanding more about COVID-19, developing effective treatments and vaccines, helping the unemployed and the economy, and healing the exposed political divides."
