Painter, American, born 1957

This painting shows distorted and exaggerated shapes forming abstract humanoid figures against a blue sky with pale clouds. The figures have pale skin, elongated limbs, and exaggerated facial features, including some that seem cartoonish or animalistic. The faces have wide, protruding eyes, round noses, pointed ears, and large white teeth sticking out from their downturned mouths. They are all grouped together near the bottom left corner of the painting, with some figures partially hidden behind others. Two of them are clothed in long dresses, while one appears nude.
