Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows a grid of square panels with circular shapes in the center, surrounded by leaf-like forms. The circles resemble flowers with red triangular shapes as petals and green elongated shapes as leaves. Above the panels are two smaller fabric swatches; one with a green background and golden circles, and the other with a red pattern of dots on a white background. The overall composition suggests a quilt or textile pattern with a nature-inspired geometric abstraction.
