Making art absorbs me entirely and when I’m on, I follow myself to uncharted places where I am provoked, engaged, then ultimately filled. I chase after myself to see what I am up to; sometimes I find out. Drawing well is my biggest challenge; I can’t ever put it down, the regression is too painful. Making art is the second best part of being human. 

Originally, I’m from Minnesota. As a child, I was often left to my own devices and spent much of my time in the Natural World. That hasn’t changed. I travel extensively which opens my world view. Settling first in Taos for 30 years and now in Santa Fe, I have been influenced by the abundant creativity found in New Mexico and by my ongoing love affair with the Earth.
