About Me 

I have always been an artist at heart.  Even as a child I approached the world with a deep curiosity.  Days were spent running in the woods & lakes of Northern Minnesota.  Always discovering, creating, problem solving. 

I process internally and I have embraced my calm demeanor as a blessing, a way to be a thoughtful and conscious observer.  A way of feeling my way through the world, and extending a space for real heartfelt conversation. 

I am constantly moving towards what motivates me to move and create. Chasing sparks, has meant a career in chemical engineering to artist residencies in the North Cascades of Washington, living and working from a camper for a year with my partner, Rich, to planting roots in MN and creating a pottery in my basement, and raising a sweet little Sunny boy.

I find my grounding in relationships;  rooted by connections.  I believe there is so much power and beauty in our shared experiences.  People openly revealing to one another how messy and flawed, yet undeniably amazing this life is.  I view my photography and pottery as a dance between these intimate moments, both ordinary and the sacred.
