At any given moment, an artist never knows when creativity will strike.
Last semester, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when all things went virtual, third-year M.F.A. painter Diane Hiscox found inspiration during the online class switchover to create the "Who's Zoomin' Who" portraiture series.

The wonderfully rendered series boasts over fifty intimately scaled portraits (5" x 7" oil paint on cradled panels). Here is just a handful of these moments frozen in time.
