Artist | Teacher
I was born to the Red Lake Chippewa tribe and adopted by an amazing family in the heart of farm country in Minnesota. I spent 25 years in sales and service; a fun career that placed me for long periods in Boston, New York City, Santa Fe, Orlando, and on extended trips all over the United States. Eventually I lost interest in the kind of value I was creating, so I decided to return to art. I joined the BFA program at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and somewhere along the way I noticed how much I enjoyed stopping my work to help my classmates. This website marks the conclusion of my time in the U of A art department of art, and the beginning of the second and best half of my career. Thank you for visiting.
