Tate DeCaro

In May 2021 over 50 people from around the country shared with Tate DeCaro decisions and deeds  they were proud of accomplishing during the first year of the pandemic. From huge life changes to the day-to-day tasks of simple survival, they did not just get by. They all found incredibly creative ways to cope. Taken together, the similarities were striking, the resiliency remarkable. Are We There Yet? An Illustrated Journey of Coping & Creativity During COVID-19 is a compendium of some of these reflections, paired with illustrations done by 20 artists in a variety of styles and mediums.
