                                          Bio

 

I grew up in a flat praire  town in South Dakota, where the austerity and angularity of my surroundings imbued me with a longing for the exotic and strange, even as the endless horizon, expansive skies and lakes and sloughs of my native land made an indelible impression on my psyche. 

 

I left the prairie to attend Minneapolis College of Art and Design, where I was the recipient of the Miles and Shirley Fiterman Award for Fine Arts.  After graduation I showed my work in Minneapolis and Cincinnati and received a State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant and an Art in Space grant.
