Born and raised in beautiful northern Minnesota ,I have had the pleasure of having unlimited subjects to paint. Being surrounded by the many gorgeous landscapes, lakes and rivers, the colors that are most pleasing to my eye are the earthy tones of nature. Therefore I call my collections 'Simply Nature'. I hope you too find looking through my work very pleasing and comforting. I am married with four wonderfully polite children that bring me inspiration every day. I also own and operate an art gallery here in Brainerd, Mn. where you will find more of my work...more
