I have been obsessed with encaustic painting for many years. I live on land that is deep in Northern Minnesota’s forest, with a river and waterfalls 75 feet from my home and art studio. Earlier in my life I was a weaver, … later made a living from making jewelry for a dozen years. I then co-founded a “destination restaurant” that sits on the shoreline of the Great Lake Superior.

As those chapters of my life were complete I have been working as an encaustic artist. Although my natural inclination is to be quite abstract, the natural beauty surrounding me is the inspiration.
