All of the Art you're viewing on this site are digital pieces created with the Wacom pad and pen.

I am the Chair of the Children's Book Illustrators Guild (of MN) - CBIG.

I have a Gallery show with the Children's Book Illustrators Guild at the Red Wing Arts Association (Art at the Depot) in Red Wing, MN. 418 Levee St. in Downtown Red Wing. The Gallery is in an historic railroad depot. The Depot is across the street from the river and has a train track right next to the depot which is still in use.
