The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of many, but for one Gainesville resident, that disruption created an opportunity to lift community spirits. Amber Wangemann, a Gainesville resident who teaches piano lessons, has been hiding painted rocks for the public to find in the Hall County region since the summer of 2020 after losing about half of her income due to the pandemic. Wangemann said the idea to paint and hide rocks in the region first came to her after drawing art with chalk on Gainesville’s Downtown Square with young people from her church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
