Primarily my work is done in
acrylics/colored pencil. I also enjoy pastel, charcoal, collage,
paper casting, torn paper, and bas-relief sculpture.
Biography
Although I rock at whimsy,
bright color, and celebrated pattern: realism, abstraction and stylized
forms are also in my tool box. I truly enjoy the brainstorming,
creative challenges, and interior solutions these types of projects
present.
Illustrating children's books, greeting cards and other related
goods is my first love. My second is work primarily as a muralist
and artist in residence.
To date I have created over fifty murals for homes, schools, and
businesses. Three examples of my mural work is included in this
site (References available upon request).

My art and my life is full of the universal
experiences of being human and honoring the spirit of creativity.
I recently received an Individual Artist Award from the Central Minnesota
/ McKnight Foundation for selected illustrations from the recently
published children's book The Land Beyond Forever by Tracy Flynn Bowe
(Three Sisters Publishing House). Two fully illustrated pages are
available for viewing in this site. This August will find me drinking
up the landscapes, culture, and mystical sites of beautiful Peru.
I'm positive my study in symbolism as well as the woven colors and
textures will provide great inspiration for future work |
