Since the onset of stay-at-home, we’ve encouraged creatives from across the Queen City to share their #CreativityInCaptivity. So, it was an absolute treat to get this timelapse video of Optimist Park resident, Emerson Stoldt, creating a large painting based on the sculpture “The Ecstacy of Saint Teresa” finished with a 24-karat-gold teardrop.

Emerson says, “I’m an architect and artist … [I] have been working my full-time architectural design job from home for about 6 weeks now. I’ve been painting a lot more since this all started, it’s been a great way to stay (relatively) sane.”
