Sketching the Pandemic Year 2020 Week 38 September 13-19
Real change,
enduring change
happens one step at a time
~Ruth Bader Ginsburg~
September 18, 2020 was a tough day. The world lost Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It came at difficult period in US history. In fact, her life and death have had a major impact. Fortunately her legacy as a legal pioneer in gender equality and many of the changes she engineered will last and shine a light to many around the globe. I was lucky to have met her in person and listen to the wise words she spoke to a small group of attorneys newly inducted to the Supreme Court Bar in 2015. I was there as a proud parent - my son was one of the inductees. I sketched the special occasion that day as no cameras are allowed inside. Later, I painted the scene for my son as a keepsake.
