Visual Art – Minneapolis

Painting is my way of expressing meaning in my life. Certain moments - memories, characters, objects, compositions, and characters inspire the images I create. Most of my work consist predominately of oil painting on canvas. I find that it is the most sensuous form of making art. It allows me to get lost in shadows and light, in shapes and colors. Painting is my way of meditation. My other creative outlets include: jewelry making, playing music, cooking and writing. Living and working in the Twin Cities, I am a proud Minnesotan. I am also an alumni of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
