A woman in a black jacket and white collar turns from her easel to face the camera with a direct, unflinching gaze while holding a paintbrush mid-stroke. The black and white photograph captures her in her studio, with a portrait-in-progress visible on the canvas behind her, the composition suggesting both creative process and self-portraiture through the layering of artist and subject. Printed on clear acrylic and made to order in two sizes. A serving piece for the dinner party or a pop of color as a kitchen accent, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a big-box print.
