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

Some pieces were originally acrylic paintings that I scanned, cleaned up and changed to digital.

I was the Chair of the Children's Book Illustrators Guild (of MN) - CBIG from 2000 - 2010.
The Guild originated in 1983. Check out my children's book illustrations at the CBIG web site: www.childrens-illustrators.com

Also check out my art on mnartists.org
