All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
I love to create and paint, and I especially love to do it for private commissions, and bring reflections of what people love into their home and life. The atmosphere surrounding us affects us every day, why not place in it things that inspire?
Things I sell
I sell my paintings,
prints,
collectors art cards (in limited editions),
my watercolors,
oils and pastels,
pen and pencil drawings,
and create paintings for individuals and corporate business. I also create art jewelry from silver/gold,
lampwork glass,
pearls and gemstone beads. I make traditional Lakota Bone Chokers from horn,
leather and bone hollow beads. I was taught by a Native woman in my home state of Minnesota. I only create these on special order- they are time and work intensive. I also do design consulting work,
and part-time curate for an artwork sales and leasing company. Things I buy

Business InformationHistory/background
I have been in business as an artist for almost 20 years. Currently, I am exploring the unfolding possibilities open to the arts and artists on the internet. The world of art is changing and artist's work is more accessible to collectors directly.

ArtSource : Resources for Artists
If you are a member of LJ community, you can join ArtSource community, a community I created with the goal of providing a place for professional artists, photographers, sculptors and crafters to share information on selling, marketing and promoting their artwork both off and online. It is also a good art supply marketplace, where artists sell, buy or trade art supplies, tell of art opportunities in local communities, national shows, online shows, etc. It's a great community!
