I am originally from Minneapolis Minnesota, USA. I am trained and work in architecture and am largely a self-taught painter.
I make both abstract and representational work. My abstract side allows for instinctual flow and balancing the search for the beauty of nature and stillness within the reality of everyday urban life and the struggle of the human spirit.
My representational work depicts everyday objects and interiors, relationships and bonds within families, memories and childhood innocence.
