Creating art has been my main interest all of my life. After working in several other professions, I always returned to art. Early years I spent in a small farming town on the northern border of Iowa.  Our family moved to Ogden, Utah, where I graduated from Ben Lomond High School.  I won an art scholarship to Pepperdine University in California.  One semester I attended the University of Guadalajara, Mexico before graduating from Weber State College with a BA in art.
