When I was younger, my dream career choices fluctuated between musician or naturalist. Through some fluke or perhaps as a result of watching too many Bob Ross programs over summer vacations, I became a full-time painter instead. In the 30+ years I’ve been painting, my love of music and nature has always been inspirational and integral to the creation of my work.

My paintings in oil and acrylic oscillate between visually interpreting song through color and composition to capturing the colorful big skies, lakes, woods and prairie lands of my home state of Minnesota.
