Artist, American, born 1951

The image shows a person playing a guitar while sitting on a quilted blanket. The person's facial features are stylized, with short hair, wearing a sleeveless top and blue pants. Beside them on the floor are dark boots and a sculpted head object. Yellow drapes hang on their sides, with dark tree-like patterns in the background. The wall behind them has historical posters and images, including one of President Abraham Lincoln, and a blue hat hangs on the right.
