A woman in a celadon sweatshirt, jeans, and green sneakers adorns a black apron with white marks. She sits cross-legged on a stool, on the right of a mint green organizer cart holding brushes and other art supplies. On the white wall behind her, artworks on different types of paper are displayed. Some are drawings, others are prints, and all portray Black women.
