Artist, American, born 1974

This is a stylized painting of a person seated with their legs bent. The person has a simplified face with light blue skin and dark blue hair. Their facial features are simple, with large eyes, an L-shaped nose, and a small, round mouth. They wear high-heeled, black shoes and appear to have a translucent shawl draped over one shoulder. There also appears to be a small oval of small brown beads or objects in front of their body, as if a necklace is suspended in the air.  A small brown stool is below the person's feet, and a spoon hovers to the right of their head. The person is small and in the center of the image, and the background is plain white paper.
