A picture of a collage of various artworks by Vinetta Miller. The background is purple. From top left: an orange and white fish with white and blue on its fins. The fish is blowing blue bubbles. Next to the drawing of the fish is a photograph of Vinetta’s black and white cat, Benjamin, seen here from behind as he relaxes in the “loaf” position. Next to the cat is a piece of art that looks like a person on their side, with pink skin, purple pants, and orange hair. In the next row of art, directly underneath is a Black person with yellow hair, blue eyes, red lips, and light purple clothing. To the right is a photograph of a tote bag with a diamond-shaped image in abstract green and blue coloring. Next to that is a portrait of a person with brown skin and grey hair and clothing on a pink background. The final piece in this row is a tiny picture of a tote bag with yellow dots around a painting of two people dressed in semi-formal attire. In the final row of the collage is another picture of Benjamin, Vinetta’s cat, this time from the front. Next to Benjamin is a cranberry-colored shirt with a drawing of a person’s head and hair in a type of bleached white. Finally, in the center of the picture is a bunch of baby photos of Vinetta, in sepia-tone, black and white, and color.
