About Us

I was born and raised in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, where I developed a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of both Minnesota and North Dakota. These landscapes continue to inspire much of my artwork. Many of my paintings feature local scenes, such as Dunton Locks, a place where I spent countless childhood hours fishing with my family. Another piece, Detroit Lakes Train Depot, was inspired by my mother, who grew up in Dale, MN near Hawley. She often reminisced about gazing down the railroad tracks as a child, imagining the possibilities of life beyond her hometown.

I paint and teach art classes in and around the Detroit Lakes area, working primarily in acrylics and oils. One of my greatest joys is sharing my love of painting through classes designed for all skill levels—from beginners to advanced artists. In these sessions, students learn techniques such as brushwork, color mixing, and composition, and leave with a completed piece of art. I’ve taught for several years through Michael’s stores and Detroit Lakes Community Education.

Currently, my work is on display at The Gallery in the Holmes Theatre and at Detroit Lakes Floral in the Washington Square Mall. Participating in local art shows has been a wonderful way to connect with the community and share my work. I look forward to continuing to exhibit and teach.
