Sometime in early 2021, all the creatures and their friends will move to a new site. I promise.

Whimsical Wildlife Documentarian 

I live on a path well-traveled by whimsical creatures who visit Saint Paul. They come to my studio, sit for portraits, tell stories, and eat snacks. They always clamor for more exposure, and they appear in four books: Meet the LLLamas (their spelling), The Backyard Roosters of Saint Paul, The New World of Cats: Max-the-Cat & his friends, and The Small Friends’ Chronicles. Each creature has his or her own story that appears on the back of their greeting cards and on the back of their prints.

Abstract Painter & Neighborhood Maker

My first art memory is as an obsessed finger painter who wanted to paint all over everything all of the time. My Mother gave me crayons. A life-long doodler, I finally found an outlet in what I later learned was called “abstract” painting. Even later, I realized that my abstracts stand for The Grand Metaphor: “Every piece looks better because of the pieces that surround it.” Each of my abstracts has a complicated back-story, which I am happy to share. My Superpower is that when asked to tell several of them, I will put you to sleep.

Starry Nights: Lots of them

And more.

Oh my. I have thousands of images which I am currently (April 2020 2019) organizing and making accessible by way of a creature alphabet and an abstract matrix. Find more images on my Instagram feed and on my Facebook page.
