I am a visual artist. I live near Walnut Grove in southwest Minnesota.

​

I work primarily in Printmaking, Drawing, Photography and Weaving.

• My majority of my prints are intaglios created on zinc plates and hand printed in small editions of 10 to 20 on archival paper. I occasionally do pieces using relief and photogravure printing techniques. I also create limited edition hand printed art books.

• My pencil drawings are based on images I photograph and extend using my imagination.

• My photography centers on faces and emotion. Using computer imaging software, I create and develop images bring more focus to the images. 

​

I am a graduate of Walnut Grove High School, three years in the army, and degrees from Northwestern Bible College, Roseville.MN, SMSU, Marshall, MN and Mankato State University, Mankato, MN.

I raised three children. On our farm I raised cows, horses, chickens, dogs and sheep. I teach visual art at WWG High School in Westbrook, MN.

​

I have a strong tie to the land, the people, my family, and religion.
