60"x48" abstract composition in golden yellow with lavender, violet and light cream. Large gestural movements overlay one and other on the on canvas. The painting surface incorporates impasto brushwork and poured paint to give an active composition. This painting is signed on reverse by the artist, Debra Drexler. Debra Drexler maintains studios in both New York and Oahu, Hawaii, and her work is informed by her unique bi-coastal experience.
