I lived in South Dakota from 1992 until 2001, when my husband and I decided to return to Minnesota to be closer to family. I have taught art for the past seven years as well as pursuing other art interests. I work in several different mediums, oils, acrylic, watercolor, pencil and sculpture. I have won several awards in regional art shows over the years including a few solo art shows in South Dakota. Art is part of who I am and it is the connection to life around me. My goal in my art to is to express my human experience with a spiritual connection. This year at the Meander you will see several paintings with a subtle spiritual meaning. My efforts are not to push you to a religion, but to have the viewer sense a deeper meaning when you look longer than a passing glance. Through surviving an illness, I was force to see art comes from within, and my hands are just the vehicle I use to show my creations. I struggled at first with this concept, but know it has helped me to grow as a person and create new art to share with you. Along with my portrait work I also do free-lance work for book covers, illustrations, and logo's. I also am a muralist and I do a lot of decorative painting for homes and businesses. If you are interested in hiring me for a commission piece or for decorative work please feel free to contact me. Home phone (320) 564-9289 or cell phone (320) 894-0813
