I started creating art at a young age as a child growing up in St. Paul, Minnesota. By age eight, I was painting landscapes in oil and studied the principles of artistic composition as taught to me by my artistic father. Later, as a teen, I was drawn to the work of 20th Century photographers Edward Weston and Paul Strand. Their work opened my eyes to the use of the camera as a tool for real life image making. As a photographer I look for what I call "the composition within the composition" or the visual essence of the larger scene.
