FALMOUTH, Maine (AP) â Donald Verger has been putting heart into his art during the pandemic.
And images of those intricate hearts made from vibrant sea glass are flowing back to schools and hospitals that have been hard hit by COVID-19 during the pandemic.
âThe hearts hit a sweet spot for people,â Verger said. âPeople love sea glass, the color, the patterns.â
Across the country, many artists find themselves struggling during the pandemic, but theyâre also finding ways to give back during a health crisis that has claimed more than 465,000 lives in the United States.
Vergerâs efforts represent his small but colorful contribution to the effort to bring people a smile, or maybe a moment of calm and peace, amid the isolation of the pandemic.
