I am an Artist and Photographer who is so fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
I began making art at a very young age after my grandmother saw a drawing I had done of my sister as an old woman because I was angry at her. I was so lucky to have a grandmother who was a respected and confident artist. She was my mentor,teacher and paver of a path that would have otherwise never been understood in the small rural South Dakota area I grew up.
I was formally educated at the University Of South Dakota Fine Arts Program and hold a seperate Associate degree in Commercial illustration and design.
