Rank #9: “My Plein-air Experience” with Kim DeVera [028]

Kim DeVera still doesn’t like being called “artist”, although she paints almost everyday since the quarantine. Kim sometimes gets very serious about this art thing and she has to take a step back to remind herself that this is just a hobby, and she should enjoy and have fun. Kim is someone who can instantly brighten up a room (or a chat room). She listens to everyone carefully and she communicates with empathy. We miss her presence dearly whenever she’s not on Discord. You’ll find out why she believes this has been “the best quarantine” for her.
