I am a Minnesota-based artist working in oils and watercolors as well as dry media. I hold a degree from Augustana University. I also enjoy hiking, going to the gym and learning languages.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Raised with a fascination of the natural world - and a dream of becoming a veterinarian or animal biologist-I naturally incorporated that into my art. My work draws inspiration from wildlife and the natural world, be it a place like the Grand Tetons or the Missouri River or an underwater piranha.
My signature approach bridges four major movement influences: the lighting of Impressionism, the impasto and brushwork of Post-Impressionism, the bold chromatic energy of Fauvism, and the American spirit of Regionalism. Together, these four styles form a unique style on the wildlife and natural landscapes of my art.
Driven by a passion for continuous growth, I remain dedicated to capturing new horizons, refining my craft, and exploring where the next journey leads me.
