About MY WORK: My designs are driven from nature. Break them up, simplify them and they become abstract and graphic elements which when combined create something visually flowing. It is from there that I work in my sketchbook on colors and patterns until I feel read to move forward with the design elements. ARTIST STATEMENT Wisconsin has many simple and beautiful surroundings. Being near water is extremely important to me. I have been photographing for over 18 years and am transitioning back to my roots of fine art.
