Artist, American, born 1926

The image displays bold black lines and shapes against a lighter background. Swirling forms, sharp angles, and organic elements create a sense of movement. The shapes resemble leaves and plants intertwining. Curved and zigzagging lines may remind the viewer of vines or stems, with forms suggesting petals or foliage.
