Artist, American, 1952 - 1996

The image shows a young person standing in a corner with their back against the wall. The person has short, straight, light-colored hair with bangs, a neutral expression, and is wearing a long, light-colored dress with heart patterns. The background walls have a textured surface with writings that read "SHARON T." and "Bob," alongside a faint handprint. The lighting is soft, casting gentle shadows.
