Artist, American, born 1935

The image shows abstract pencil sketches of shapes resembling fan blades. The lines and curves create forms that mimic figures with multiple petals or blades, extending from a central point, similar to flowers or ventilation equipment. The abstract shapes overlap in some areas, with some markings filled more heavily, adding contrast and depth. Squiggly lines at the top suggest motion or movement. In the background, a grid pattern lightly covers the entire page, giving a sense of structure amidst the abstract representation.
