Art is my journey of exploring the world around me. Sounds may not infiltrate my ears yet I hear so much in so many other ways. I allow creativity to flow through me, layer by layer, until it evolves into what it is meant to be. I create with rock, metals, paints and found objects. My sculptures and paintings express what is within my heart. A native of Minnesota, I attended the University of Colorado and the University of Minnesota, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. Continued graduate work in Studio Arts at the University of Minnesota.
