On Selected Artworks Through Memorial Day!!!!
I create large abstract paintings that are printed on paper through a traditional printing press. I begin each painting by drawing with a lithography crayon onto a large Plexiglas plate. Through the process of mixing the colors of inks, I create an energetic painting. The completed painting on the plate is placed on the bed of the press, a damped sheet of paper is placed on top of the plate, the felts are placed on top of the paper. I then run the print through the printing press. Most recently, I am a member of Northstar Printmakers Studio in Northeast Minneapolis and create many of my larger Monotypes at MCAD.
I create a silkscreened series of bra prints that bring together community with those who are drawn to them and share their story. The affordability for folks to collect original prints is a concept I really enjoy! I am so thrilled to be part of the fantastic artists community in Northeast Minneapolis and member of NEMAA. I enjoy my hometown community and it is those amazing people there including my family who have encouraged me to do what I LOVE.

Big Twist
I saw Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows in New York in the late 80’s. He began singing at the age of six at church. Man, when I saw him he could really belt it out. He died shortly after that. He was younger than me now. Life is short. Do what you want and listen to music.
