What shaped your life most?
Growing up on the Nebraska prairie was the perfect setting to discover through play that I could be anyone. My imagination was free. And I thrived on that freedom.

What art did you first make?
There was a vein of clay along Cole Creek on the family farm. As a kid, I hand-built and oven-baked too many pots and pencil holders… that were ultimately gifted to the grandparents.

Why art?
Art fills the gap left by language, offering a means to explore the depths of our emotions, the complexities of our thoughts, and the unspoken aspects of our existence. Art reminds us that, what words can't say, art can.

Favorite art-making tool?
The most exciting part of making art is using my hands. There is no intermediary between me and my art; it's pure. Every sensation, every emotion, is translated directly from my body onto the canvas, creating an honest and deeply personal piece of art.

Best advice?
I credit my dad for telling me again and again… “You can do anything, and I’ll help you get there.” And I always believe my dad.

What’s your superpower?
I’m a maximizer. I see talents and strengths in others (including myself). And love helping artists get excited about their potential. That’s why I’m drawn to creativity coaching & teaching.

Parting words?
The world is waiting for what you have. Share your passion, your joy, your talent. No one else can do it like you. Don’t wait… now… do it now.
