Caged Bluebird (Self Portrait During the Pandemic)

Graphite and Charcoal on Strathmore paper - 16” x 16”

Some days I have made peace with being in my cage - other days I have not. My birdcage veil is an essential barrier between myself and others - it feels as though it keeps me safe. I am the bluebird of happiness being confined to this cage makes me feel stifled during this pandemic… Only I can hear my song.
