I spent my youth in south suburban Minneapolis, rambling near the Minnesota River and camping in the northern forests. In an era that lacked electronic distractions or streaming videos I learned to embrace nature. I studied ceramics in the 1970’s at the University of Minnesota under Warren MacKenzie. This experience helped me discover an art form that connected me to the earth in a special way. I cherish the the natural world and since, have emotionally expressed myself through use of soil and fire.
