This week, join me as I talk to Liz Weiss about her fascinating "Paxlovid Nightmare" series of watercolors that she made at the kitchen table in her New York City apartment. These small, vibrant works were directly inspired by the vivid dreams she had while talking the Covid medication. We also go deep into the topic of getting back to your work after an extended break, as Liz worked for many years as a psychoanalyst and put her art on pause.
