I'm a life-long Minnesotan, (now residing in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA), and an artist working in many markets and mediums. A graduate of the University of Minnesota/Twin Cities, (BA Studio Arts, Painting and Drawing concentration), and Certificate of Illustration, I now specialize in acrylic paintings, mixed media art, illustration work for many applications (surface and textile design, jigsaw puzzles, book and spot freelance illustrations, church bulletin art), and in hand painted clergy stoles, custom church textiles, and funeral palls for cremation urns. I regularly exhibit in local art events and exhibitions, with my original artwork and textiles in many USA and Canadian collections: private, corporate, nonsecular and collegiate. I'm the artist-in-residence at Immanuel Lutheran Church (ELCA), Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Many smaller artworks in my "Gem Island" series are currently exhibited at the Dow Art Gallery and the House of HeART, AirBnB (Saint Paul, MN locations) and aren't shown here on my website. Both locations have nonexclusive representation of my artwork.
