Artist, American, born 1940

An abstract composition featuring a swirling, dark teal spiral at the center of a lighter teal square. The spiral moves from left to right, creating a dynamic sense of movement. The edges of the spiral blend into the background, forming wispy trails. White rectangular areas in the corners contrast with the teal, anchoring the image. A dark teal dot near one of the white areas adds a point of interest to the geometric composition.
