I paint the wilderness because it is alive and completely untamed....
To me, The Boundary Waters area is pure living soul. I am fascinated by the cycle of death and rebirth in nature. The foundation of all my work is drawing. I sell my work from my own studio at the Northrup King building in Northeast Minneapolis.

I am also a chaplain. I am not so interested in living out the romantic notion of starving artist who cuts off from the rest of the world. I actually have come to believe that image is a part of the way that creative artists dehumanize ourselves. Creativity, like spirituality is mystery. You can't box it or define it by its very nature.
