Laura and Peter are both professional artists, paying the bills by making art.  At this hugely difficult time they discuss how the situation is affecting them and what measures they are taking to ensure that when things get back to something closer to normality that they will be able to resume their work with as little lasting damage as possible. Don't expect advice on the virus itself, Laura and Peter are as much in the dark about that as the rest of you, but their plans and their problems may help you to see that you are not alone.
