I'm a native Minnesotan, (now St. Paul, MN), and an artist working in many markets and mediums. A graduate of the U of M Twin Cities, (BA Studio Arts, Painting and Drawing concentration), and Certificate of Illustration, I now specialize in handpainted clergy stoles, custom church textiles, funeral palls for cremation urns, acrylic paintings, mixed media art, and illustration work for many applications (such as surface and textile design, book illustrations, church bulletin art, spot illustrations). I exhibit in local art events with my work in many collections. I'm the artist-in-residence at Immanuel Lutheran Church (ELCA), St. Paul, MN and some of my "Gem Island" work is currently represented by Dow Art Gallery, St. Paul, MN.
