Story / Additional InfoThe artist painted this picture in a time of artistic questioning. It was during Covid, and the lack of human contact created artistic angst for her and focused her inward as this painting reflects. She is surrounded by her paintings with the open window beckoning. This is done in the long tradition of self portraits of artists in their studios. The legs in the painting on the upper left appear to be exiting the painting in the painting. The filmy curtain to the right is a signature object of the artist's.
