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. Constructed from woven polyester with a soft microfiber lining and a sturdy zipper, made to order for 13 and 15 inch laptops. Everyday protection carrying an independent artist's work, not another plain black sleeve.
