Okay. So, it's just like it sounds. I was born, raised and lived in the Red River Valley of the North for most of my life. I have been so blessed in my life to have been surrounded by people who have encouraged me to be creative. It's who I am. I am always making something. Pottery of course, but also drawing, painting, jewelry and greeting cards. I went to Art School at Moorhead State University and taught art for twenty four years. Wow, that's a long time. While teaching I wasn't able to do much art of my own. I felt like I gave everything I had creatively to my students. And I loved it. My circumstances have changed. I am not longer teaching and now live in the Salt River Valley. I am now able to devote my time to my own art. And I love it.
