The COVID-19 pandemic and last year’s social unrest did a number on Park City-based artist Karen Millar Kendall.
“You think since we were in COVID lockdown that I would have all of this time to create and do so much work, but my creativity was stifled,” Millar Kendall said. “There was too much noise in my head, and a lot of stress and worry. I found, personally, that I couldn’t get to that creative center of my brain, because there was so much going on.”
The artist was able to quell the noise enough last November to begin painting again.

The annual Winter Arts Showcase is going virtual.
The exhibit, which is a partnership between the Park City Professional Artists Association and Arts Council of Park City and Summit County, will be presented online from Feb. 12-28 at createpc.org, said Jocelyn Scudder, executive director of the Arts Council of Park City and Summit County.
Pivoting to an online format is just another step in the exhibit’s evolution, she said.
When it began, the showcase was known as Art Elevated, and was set up in various venues including the Visitor Information Center in Kimball Junction and the Swaner EcoCenter, Scudder said.
