She finds that through these below-the-surface questions, people deeply connect with one another. “I hope viewers will wonder ‘What is she think?’ or ‘What is his story?’ or ‘Why are they there?’” she says. Her works of art are intentionally provocative. She went on to become an educator and directed the Youth Art Program at Eastern Michigan University. Jane graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in painting. Growing up, her parents recognized her gift, encouraging her talent and drive. “I cannot remember a time before I picked up a pencil and started to draw,” she says. Jane has spent her life and career bringing to life those thoughts and emotions too profound for words. “We all went through this huge, unprecedented event, which affected everyone’s mental health in some way.” “Remember Kissing?” by Jane Fink “This exhibition is a tribute to individuals who struggled and continue to struggle with mental illness that originated in or was intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Jane. Her collected works, “Pieces from The Pandemic,” are on exhibition at Dexter United Methodist Church through September 20, 2022. And one local artist has set about helping people do just that.Īrtist Jane Fink has expressed many of the emotions she experienced during the pandemic shutdown on canvas, hoping others will find their story in her art and that it will foster resolution and healing. Besides the continued rise and fall of cases, the lingering mental and emotional toll on us may take years to heal, if we ever do get over it. We may be done with the pandemic, but the pandemic isn’t done with us. ![]()
