Hello! Architect by day and watercolor artist by night. My work spans fine art for juried exhibits, abstracts large, illustration, urban sketching, demos and commissions.

Active studio in the NE Minneapolis Arts District for 12+ years. I share space in the Northrup King Building Studio 321.

Odd, where did my photo go?

Click to see the full length. 13.5” tall x 32” wide watercolor of my Great Grandfathers Saw handed down to my grandfather and then me. Lots of stories with this saw and I bet it has heard even more. Submitted to a watercolor competition #art-bsky #watercolor #northrupkingbuilding #MinneapolisArt

And…I love to draw. So I’m not avoiding that part.

I mean to. I know it’s a great idea. But no, I just start with an overall idea of the contrast and such and make decisions along that line as me and the paint are both making decisions.

I buy that big role of arches paper. I cut all my sheets down from there.

Thank you! You would probably like the 4’ watercolor pencils I’ve been doing.

These “sketches” are 3”x5” done live during the John Craigie concert this year at “The Cedar” in Minneapolis. Done standing, in the dark, with a nonwaterproof pen and water pen. Such a great show. #art @bsky.art #art-bsky #bsky.art #artist #northrupkingbuilding #MinneapolisArt #thecedar #johncraigie

#WatercolorAbstract small approximately 3”x4”. The real title should be “What happens if I put a ton of water and paint on watercolor paper and let it dry in -14 degree weather”. But perhaps that would be too long. Thinking of framing this and its similar but different partner in a gold frame.

So…does the PAS mean (P)iece (A) (S)hit?

“The First Thing They Touch” (22” x 30” full sheet 300lb #watercolor framed in maple -$2,200 - studio image for scale) ties my artist and architect training in a series where I explore my relationship with institutions I grew up with.

Love to hear what narratives these evoke for you in comments.
