Still finding myself

Self-portrait during the COVID-19 pandemic. I had struggled with depression and anxiety for years, but being during this time I found myself in an emotional state of doubt of the things that defined me, being a mother, wife, minister, artist. This portrait is me encouraging myself to prevail as God leads me further in my life.
