Artist, American, born 1951

The image shows a single apple on a tree branch. The apple is positioned slightly to the right of center. The overall color palette is in shades of grey as it is a black and white photograph. The branch extends diagonally across the image, with smaller twigs branching off. The background is soft and out of focus, emphasizing the apple and branch in the foreground.
