I’ve about finished my thesis and handed it of to my grad committee that consists of Frenchy Lunning—MCAD, Ben Heywood—Director of the Soap Factory and my mentor Piotr Szyhalski—MCAD. The thesis is about the Shadow and its relationship to light being used as a metaphor for power. It has grown to be about 28pages. I will be posting it shortly.
This next month will be primarily concerned with my last work that I will be creating a MCAD as part of my masters—Grinder. It will confront the viewer with death in a funny sort of way.
Yesterday was a bit of fun… three movies. I went and saw Good Night and Good Luck. Today is a reunion lunch and opening as well as a a dinner I will attend. I am a bit apprehensive about it but I really have to go.

I’m a Minneapolis-based artist working in watercolor, gouache, oil, drawing, and mixed media.
After teaching art and design for many years, I returned to making art fully. These days, I spend my time drawing, painting, experimenting, and paying attention to what shows up.
I often work small. My work moves between observation, memory, and imagination. Some pieces lean surreal. Some stay close to what is seen. What interests me is what begins to emerge when I stay with the work long enough.
On my blog, you’ll find both my artwork and my reflections. I’ve come to see they are connected. What I learn in the studio often changes how I see my life, my relationships, and my community. In that way, art has become more than making objects — it has become a way of understanding and being in the world.
