Large-scale abstract painting with gestural white brushstrokes on a dark ground, layered with geometric color fields in cobalt blue, plum purple, and kelly green, and two curling scroll-like forms in yellow and gray
Mixed-media relief construction on a black ground of dense white gestural marks, with layered painted panels in navy, purple, and green, and two curling scroll-like forms—one yellow at upper left, one gray at center right—overlapping diagonal bars and a narrow horizontal strip at lower center with teal and brown details.
Mixed-media wall relief with a black ground covered in white gestural marks, featuring layered painted panels in green, navy, purple, and gray. A yellow and gold serpentine form floats upper left; a gray painted scroll shape overlaps a bright green rectangle with orange scribbled lines; angled flat forms and a small painted strip with red and blue marks extend along the lower edge.
