I live in an inner circle suburb of Minneapolis. During strolls through my gardens, and walks through the neighborhood, with my camera in hand, I photograph creatures who journey freely as they travel about their daily lives. Using the photos as my inspiration, I paint animals in natural settings rendered in vibrant colors on canvas and wood.

This collection of paintings will be on view first at Pottery Place in Red Wing, Minnesota and then at the Purple Turtle Galley in Stockholm, Wisconsin.
