To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.

Art Allows You to See Anew
The world is never seen nor will be seen as you see it and there is no proof that we see and experience the world the same way. Art allows the artist to break the barriers delve deeper and blend the essence of being with the visual experience. That allows a solo experience to turn into a shared experience. In a sense art creates a communal experience, one that can ignite imaginations, examination, and self-study.

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.
