2020 Halloween Trick or Treat Door Signs

This year is an unusual time for people to know how to socialize and how to find the right balance between moving on with life vs keeping safe during a pandemic.

Clark and I recently moved from PA to UT, and in our over 13 years of marriage we haven’t once had the opportunity to pass out candy to little children. This year will be our first!

Some areas are trying to discourage trick or treating (‘cancel Halloween’), but most of us want our children to have a fun and enjoyable night, living life like normal and dressing up!

I feel there are safe ways to still offer kids candy while social/physical distancing. Clark and I plan to create a candy chute or ‘candy tunnel’ and attach it to the railing next to the steps up to our front door, like this example:

We also plan to add these signs to our door, one inviting Trick-or-Treaters in a happy and friendly way! And the second one will replace the first once our candy runs out. I also thought that those who feel uncomfortable with having Trick-or-Treaters come to the door could tell them in a friendly way that they don’t have any candy to pass out.

Please feel free to download these images for free to print out and use on your doors this Halloween! Much love to you my friends!

~Happy Halloween!!!!~ ????????????????

About the Artist

I am an advocate first, and an artist second. My paintings create visual comfort-- spaces where grief, hope, and healing can live together without apology...

I paint what matters most: the people you cherish, the moments that shaped you, the feelings that need witness. Through art, your most precious memories move outside of you and into your home, where they can be held, seen, and never forgotten.

My work is rooted in three commitments: honoring the experiences of indigenous communities and the history of the land we inhabit; creating safe space for children and women whose voices have been silenced; and recording the honest truth of lived experience-- both my own and that of those who came before me. I believe art has the power to tell stories that words alone cannot, and to preserve what must not be lost or forgotten. I believe that all that we know about ourselves is because Art has preserved those stories throughout history, outliving those who created it.

When you encounter my work, I hope you find yourself in it-- not as escape, but as recognition. I hope it reminds you that your feelings matter, that your story deserves to be held, and that compassion and truth are still worth carrying forward.

Art is the voice that speaks honestly through the heart. 💝🪷
