I have always pursued painting as a lifelong dream, now  turned into a lifetime reality. Returning to my home state of Minnesota 21 years ago and recently retired, the time now spent in my studio brings back memories and inspires the past to come to life in the many works that I create. My work is with oils but have dabbled in acrylics, pencil and ink.

I am a self-taught and inspired artist who has a great love for the outdoors.  Many of my works are the result of photographs taken of landscapes and wildlife while out hiking or of the many countries and states traveled over the past 35 years. Alaska, Montana, North Shore, Minnesota and Canada have created the foundation for my landscapes, in addition to my own gardens for the beauty of the flowers. My work is about creating that beauty and transpiring it for all to enjoy .

I hope you enjoy what you see  "THROUGH MY EYES"
