"You have been setting a standard in your creative work with a

language unique to the common practice of art. You live and crave the colors and earthly presence that surrounds you.

I'm glad I have some of your work on our walls to ponder on"

I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where I received a 

Bachelor of Fine arts degree from The University of Wisconsin.

After pursuing my career in several states, I made Western Colorado my home in 2009. During my career, I have owned and operated a studio and gallery in Wilmington, North Carolina and Bellingham, Washington. In each locality I have worked, I have held workshops for adult art education and been active in community efforts for the arts.

​

Materials drive my creative energy. Working in mixed media

empowers me to investigate and combine a nearly unlimited

array of materials. From painting to photography, metal to paper, wood to found object, I conjure up an alchemy to create a personal iconography. The aim in all my work is to celebrate the creative process that gives my soul its voice.
