An homeless artist in Central Park

Last week-end the New York Times was telling readers a very nice story, is it sad ? It makes you think, that's for sure.
A quite old woman is spending her days in Central Park drawing and painting birds that she sells at the end. She has an accurate eye for owls, scarlett stanager birds, woodpeckers, pigeons, passerines... She is sleeping in front of church porches but as the winter is coming she has  migrated to a  women's shelter.
She is secretive about her life prior her homeless situation. We just know that she is from Virginia. She just told the journalist that the park helps her to avoid the city, an area where she can be very anxious.
We wish a long and peaceful life to this great lady ; another Into the wild tale.
