I believe we were ALL born to create in our own ways, to co-create with our Creator. My artistic bent showed up early in life. Family and friends have always encouraged my creative sense, eye for beauty, and symbolic meaning, and they have continually prodded me toward this concentration.

 

I have seen mountains of inspiring, mind-bending, and spirit-changing things in my 50 years traversing the planet. Beauty and goodness are all around us, and something tells me it's right to share them through light, color, and quirky imperfections... so I paint.

​

Art courses at Bethel University, MN gave me some formal training early on. Since then, I’ve been exploring my own style, working consistently since 2003 to create original paintings both for expression's sake and for a variety of private collectors.

I have been married for 26 years to the man I love and we have three sons.
