"When both of your Minnesota born and bred parents are artists what do you do? I majored in forest management at the University of Minnesota until I serendipitously took a pottery class with Warren Mackenzie in 1961. Forty seven years latter I'm still making art out of that delicious clay and with an alchemist touch transforming it into wondrous things.
Art and craft are blurred and merged as I continue to do low fired brilliantly glazed narrative and allegorical sculptures as well as muted colored functional, utilitarian, high fired porcelain and stoneware pottery with intricate surface drawing. Process, exploration and emotion are my compass and animals continue to be both guides in spirit and form reminding me with a song, when I forget, the interconnection with all things."
