Artist, American, born 1943

The image shows a series of horizontal, parallel lines filling the canvas to create an all-over pattern. The abstract composition resembles the texture of woven fabric or tree bark, with repeating intervals. The overall effect evokes a sense of layered depth akin to natural textures found on earth tones. The repetitive lines draw the viewer's attention across the entire surface.
