Artist, American, born 1977

This painting shows bold, colorful shapes and dynamic lines creating an abstract composition. Various forms overlap and intersect with each other. Bright colors like blue, brown, red, yellow, green, orange, peach, and pink fill in the cluster of irregular shapes, some of the colors dripping into one another. There are thick, visible brushstrokes in some colors. The colors stand out against a light purple background, and there is a white stripe at the bottom of the painting.
