Artist, American, born 1936

The image shows angular shapes, including a red triangle and overlapping rectangular forms, against a background of soft, muted tones. The composition suggests folded paper or a faceted object, such as origami or modern architecture. The intersecting lines create a sense of depth and movement in the forms.
