I was born and raised in South Central Montana, which gives me the distinction of being an actual “Montana Native.”  Many people come from all over the country to experience our “western” lifestyle but we lived that on a daily basis.  My family ranched in the area long before I came along so I was fortunate to have opportunities that many people now spend great sums of money to experience.  I think that you will see that western influence in many of my designs

Growing up I divided my time between wanting to be a teacher or a famous artist, since the “famous” didn’t seem to be forthcoming it’s a good thing that I chose to become an artist and a teacher.   I come from a long line of very creative people, my father is a sculptor and my mother is a very talented seamstress and loves to do needlework.  My family fostered in me a love for art and creative expression that I try to impart onto my students today.
