“It was a joyful feeling because this moment—I mean, this whole year—it changed all our lives, and in some ways very profoundly, and in a way that reminded us that we are going to pass and we’re not here forever,” said Alvarez. “Just to get this little ray of sunshine was such a really beautiful thing. Unexpected.”

Throughout her career, Alvarez has found a way to innovate and make meaningful work in a field where public appreciation and popularity often comes far too late to be enjoyed by the artist. And from her studio in Michigan, with the world around her acknowledging her incredible contributions to art, there’s no doubt she’ll continue to make her mark.

“I have not been a sought-after artist all my life,” explained Alvarez. “Recognition has been coming slowly, but steadily, without expectation for over 40 years of a committed relationship to painting and drawing within a studio setting. I’m grateful to have it with me now, to keep me company as I continue in health on my path.” ■
