I was born in 1970 and raised in Minneapolis, MN, and now I reside in one of its western suburbs, Maple Grove. Raised by a family who loved the arts, I quickly picked up a fascination for visually stimulating shapes and eye pleasing composition. Staying away from controversial and objective subjects, feeling there was “enough of that crap around” I stayed with more introspective subject matters.
Receiving formal training in both graphic design, sculpture and painting, I’m able to make my living with both, recently adding painting to my services. “I’m a creative director by day and a fine artist by night.” I pull influences from my life, feelings and surroundings, none dominate my work more than my family.
For more than 25 years I've been able to do what I have a passion for and even what I went to school for!
There is nothing better than the instant gratification you get from painting. So different from the long-game that is sculpture.
I fell in love with sculpture when I was pouring molten hot bronze for the first time. I've been chasing that high ever since.
