Artist, American, born 1937

This image features a series of rectangles in vibrant colors intersecting with a thin, elongated oval shape that stretches across the composition. The bright red, yellow, green, and blue rectangles contrast against a neutral background, and the black oval loops around the shapes. The interplay of these elements creates an abstract pattern.
