Creatively Coping: Adventure in a confined space, with Katie Burriss

One of six artists profiled in Creatively Coping, Kristin Jones’s essay on the therapeutic power of working with one’s hands during uncertain times


I can’t help but notice how many creative ways people are coping, from gardening and baking, to construction and welding and repairing.” ~Kristin Jones


Cooking, By Katie Burriss

Cooking allows me to create without putting too much pressure on myself.


It’s an adventure within a confined space.


I can go back to my childhood with a southern recipe from my grandmother.


Or be in a new place altogether trying to master a French pastry or perfect Spanish seasoning.


It keeps my mind and hands creating and my soul light without being overwhelming.
