When I was a kid, I used to escape daily chores to play along the old creek bed, where I
would fashion vessels and animals from Blue Glacial Clay found near my home south of Estherville.
Sometimes, after spring rains, I still walk the creeks watching the eroded banks for a vein of this unique dark blue clay.
The River View Ranch just outside of Linn Grove has been my home for 44 years. The land and waterways
are a source of beauty and sustain wildlife, livestock and our way of life.
I never tire of the view and listening to the river sounds and songbirds.
I watch the eagles fly along the river looking for fish.
There is beauty in all that nature offers and I apply it to my work.
The pliable and elastic nature of clay allows me the freedom
to create a variety of textures, shapes and colors.
I sculpt animal figures and make one-of-a-kind
ceramic pendants and necklaces.
My necklaces are strung with a combination of handmade beads, along with turquoise, hematite, azurite stone and silver beads. Each year I travel to a gem show and buy interesting and novel stones to add to my designs.
I paint what I see and enjoy.
