Artist, American, born 1944

The image shows black lines creating interconnected shapes on a background of yellow and earth-toned hues, emphasizing abstract expression. The arrangement resembles objects such as tree trunks or pillars with amorphous forms that could be seen as animal figures or faces. The contrasting colors and thick outlines create depth and texture, akin to cave paintings or graffiti.
