Artist, American, born 1950

The image shows an array of abstract forms and lines, featuring curved and angular shapes interlocking in a dense composition. A central, large face formed by sweeping lines suggests a human figure with hair depicted in bold brushstrokes. Nearby, another face emerges with lines swirling around it like ripples in water. Organic shapes can be seen alongside crisp leaf-like patterns at the bottom. Contrasting textures and colors highlight abstract connections to familiar forms.
