Wayne's fascination with the universe has been fueled by the many exciting scientific discoveries of the last half of the twentieth century, leading to her artistic investigations of such concepts as time, genetic coding, molecular energy, and the solar system. The subject of this dynamic lithograph from her "Solar Flares" series is the violent gaseous eruptions that occur on the sun's surface.
