i have lived in nebraska all my life. just recently, i have opened my eyes to the beauty all around me that i have taken for granted.

i am constantly inspired by the simplest of things. the nebraska landscapes; with it's sunsets, birds and wildflowers; is one of my biggest source of inspiration. the people and their hands, stained and bent from hard work, but also from teaching and helping others. i also get excited when i find vintage paper with a written word or image. each is beautiful in their own way.

it is my desire that my mixed media art will evoke the most beautiful of emotions. love, hope and faith; and also will encourage others to not take the simple things for granted.
