​So happy you stopped by. I create art, illustrate and write children's book from my rooftop studio in Minnesota. I'm inspired by nature, and the magic of imagination. 
All of the art featured here is one hundred percent human made. The creative process is exciting. The first spark of inspiration becomes rough scribbles then the final sketch until the final art emerges.
I invite you to view my children's illustration portfolio and shop my newly updated store.
