About the Artist

Raised on the dairy farm in Randall, Minnesota that my great-grandfather established when he emigrated from Sweden, I grew up surrounded by field and pasture, woods and swamp—all ripe for exploration and inspiration. Minnesota nature and farm life, as well as my family’s Swedish heritage, have sparked the majority of my artwork and continue to feed my imagination, providing a never-ending stream of ideas to capture in colored pencil. And I love to share that inspiration with others—colored pencil is an accessible medium that anyone can learn!
