“‘We will get through this together’ is what the Governor of Kentucky says at the beginning of every Coronavirus update. I believe in the importance of community and think this idea is true all the time, not just during pandemics. Not being able to be with my friends and loved ones in person, I made this woodcut notecard to spread comfort and optimism during this scary pandemic.”
