The Patient Lady

Artist Statement: I started this portrait sometime near the start of quarantine. As soon as I started, I stopped. I lost all my inspiration for painting. Life for the better part of a year felt like I was stuck in a box with no sides. If I wanted to leave, I could– but I knew of the over looming threat. As I was creating this piece, I tried to reflect my feeling of being lost, yet found; distant, but present; eccentric, however patient. That is the story of “The Patient Lady”.
