Raised in Colorado, I studied art at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington, the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the University of Washington in Seattle. I have exhibited primarily on the West Coast in galleries and public institutions such as the Portland Art Museum and the Boise Art Museum.
For nearly 30 years I have sustained an active studio practice, and regularly exhibited work. I have completed public art projects in Colorado, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. Museums, universities, corporations and private collectors throughout the country have my work in their collections.

About the Process
I work with various media, including glass, paint, ink, and clay, to create pieces that stimulate the senses and evoke emotional responses. My art is a celebration of life, culture, and individuality, expressed through the interplay of color, form, and texture. Whether for public art or in my studio practice, my work is characterized by a unique blend of traditional and contemporary elements that invite the viewer to explore and delight in the beauty of the world around us.
