When people look at a piece of art in their home or work that I have created, it would be a privilege if it inspired thought about a deeper joy and a smile. I have a lot of joy and I would like people to have joy in their lives too.

I grew up in Duluth and Stillwater, MN. I was surrounded and inspired by many artists in my family. I studied art and design at the University of MN. I’ve taken several classes over the years and have done a lot of self teaching as well in art and design. I have a diverse background including interior design and decorative painting. Using over 20 years of experience I have incorporated my passion for color, texture, painting and life’s experiences into my art.
