Former WAVES officer and artist Alice DeCaprio was invited onboard USS Vulcan (AR-5) at Colts Neck, New Jersey to observe women assigned to this Repair Ship and create a series of paintings for the Navy Art Collection. In this one of Seaman Nancy Woods, DeCaprio stated that "[her choice of a] pastel-toned background gave an indication of perhaps some lightness and femininity to be contributed to Navy atmosphere by having the girls on hand."
