I was born in the midwest. second generation of Swedish immigrants. I often ponder time and space, always having been and going on forever. And then the greatest question - from whence did matter come? then look at cloud formations, the intricacy of the pattern on even the smallest moth's wings, the astounding beauty of a sugar maple leaf turned red from the cold, the miracles I have witnessed, the burning love I have had the fortune to experience... there is God ... if I falter somewhere during a painting, I ask Him to please guide my hand. Ethereal music keeps me grounded to my seat, so that I may continue the creation through it's gestation period and and finally be born as (I hope) art, from which others may be inspired by this mysterious, enigmatic World.
