I'm an ambitious painter with a love of classical realism, portraiture and an obsession with John Singer-Sargent and William Adolphe Bouguereau. I love light, color and faces.

I stay busy in my studio and work hard to maintain balance between my work and home life. I attend part-time classes at The Atelier in Minneapolis to continue building my skills as an artist.

I'm happily married to my soul mate and we have a clever daughter who keeps us on our toes.

When I'm not painting I enjoy knitting, cycling, running, watching sci-fi movies and reading everything from comic books to text books.
