Hello,  I am a local artist, Born in Minneapolis and  grew up in the  Minnetonka Hopkins area.
I live in Plymouth, and paint  at home,my Wayzata studio and Wisconsin lake cabins.

I have a passion for dance, theater, the cosmos and the beauty of nature.  One finds a continual theme in many of my works of a strong feminine force which collectively emerges onto the canvas.  My paintings are mainly expressive, abstract and whimsical in nature.  They will take you on a creative adventure open to interpretation in the viewers mind.  Music is also an important part of my process by bringing a rhythm to my art.  It is a zen experience  for me to create intriguing  charismatic and passionate  works  which bring pleasure to myself and others and  take you to your happy place.
