Biography

         

Through 55+ years of working with a camera I have had the chance to work as an intern on a daily newspaper (Minot ND Daily News), as a stringer for a weekly – North Country Constitution (Arcata Ca.) - have been published in North Dakota Outdoors, Theater Arts News, Midwest Living and Black and White magazines and, in ‘Seeing in Sixes’ a book put out by LensWork magazine.

Shows have included one person, group shows and juried exhibits at various venues ranging from the North Dakota Museum of Art, the Plains Art Museum (Fargo), The Rourke Gallery and Museum (Moorhead Mn), Minot (ND) State College Gallery, the Jamestown (ND) Art Gallery and the Spirit Room Gallery (Fargo) to various more informal shows at local restaurants, clinics, churches, coffee shops, a bar and the Governor’s traveling show.

Education includes a BA in Art from Humboldt State University and a Masters in Community Planning from NDSU Fargo. The latter led to career long day jobs directing housing and redevelopment authorities first in Becker County Mn. then in Fargo ND. Retirement from those endeavors now allows more time for photography, travel, cooking, sailing, reading, golfing and painting. Life is good.
