I’ve always loved to create, whether in needlework, mosaic tile, or through nature’s palette in my gardens. I was brought up in a family with a strong Scandinavian heritage and learned many different crafts (if one didn’t have at least three simultaneous projects in different medias in my family, Uffda, you weren’t “an Utne”!). This Norwegian influence has evolved into Viking Knit, Sami designs, the Yggdrasil Tree of Life pendant from Norse mythology, pendants of various Nordic runes, and Bunad designs in loom weaving. My love of history is also expressed in my timeless classics and Renaissance-style pieces where pearls and semi-precious gemstones are predominant.
Originally from Dawson in western Minnesota where I’m also an artist in the Upper Minnesota River Art Crawl – “The Meander”, I’ve lived in the Waconia area for thirty years.
