Artist, American, born 1963

The image depicts the upper half of a person's body, slightly tilted towards the left side of the frame. The person is wearing glasses and has short hair covered partially by a bandana, and they have a subtle smile. Their head is tilted back slightly, and one hand rests on their chin while the other hand is crossed over and touches the opposite arm. The person is dressed in a patterned, striped shirt and appears to be wearing multiple rings on their fingers, as well as earrings visible on their ears. The background is a plain, well-lit wall which enhances the subject's silhouette and casts a shadow to the right side.
