We Are In This Together








Continued THANKS to the front Line workers, that take care of our mental, emotional and physical health, provide good eats, keep us and our loved ones safe, stock the shelves, drive the trucks, keep the pipes clear, wear the masks (for 5 -14+ hours a day) and create art that inspires and uplifts our souls.... 

This is an on-going photo series I created with the help of Milwaukee artist, Fred Kaems's beautiful message, We Are In This Together. I used his mural as a background to my portraits of front line workers. If you are one or know of anyone that might want to be involved in this project, please have them contact me. heybartzie88@gmail.com
