Artist, American, born 1941

The image showcases intersecting lines and curved shapes, creating an abstract visual. In the center, there are dark, overlapping lines resembling branches extending upwards and outwards. These lines are interspersed with circular and elliptical shapes. The overall arrangement suggests the silhouette of a tree, with its trunk defined by bolder vertical lines at the bottom, while the surrounding smaller lines hint at the texture of bark or grass.
