About the artist:

Artist Statement: I was born in 1963 on a Naval Base in Keflavik, Iceland. Growing up, I lived in many places, from Alaska to South Carolina. I always enjoyed painting and drawing but received no formal training.

At the University of South Carolina, I earned bachelor's degrees in Business Management and Management Science. After graduating in 1985, I went to work for Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and General Motors in Detroit, Michigan. I was employed there for five years as a Software Systems Engineer. In 1990, I became a Senior Consultant with Price Waterhouse in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On February 1, 1992 I quit my corporate career and moved back to South Carolina to fulfill my dream of becoming an Artist. Today I travel and exhibit my work at juried art festivals throughout the United States.
