Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows interlocking shapes and lines forming an abstract design within a rectangular frame. In the center are blue shapes resembling stylized leaves or fish arranged in a repeating pattern, bordered by white and dark blue rectangular frames creating a layered effect. The design evokes a sense of movement and tessellation, with a geometric repetition and use of color reminiscent of a quilt or tiled floor.
