I've spent my whole life in Minnesota- and I'm one of the "I love it here" residents. This place is absolutely ideal for an artist- from the lakes and woods to the galleries and people. Everything about MN is welcoming (even if we seem a bit stand-offish), even the harsh winters have their sparkling charm. I was raised in Northern MN by wonderful parents, and have an older brother and sister. My family allowed me to explore my thoughts and dreams growing up (which probably got me into some trouble later on), and even encouraged me to get my BA in Studio Art from Gustavus Adolphus College (a small, private school in St. Peter, MN). As we all know, Art Majors are limited in career path options- which is why my day job is at a camera store:) But this allows me the opportunity to learn and grow in photography, as I spend my time surrounded by talented and experienced photographers. My husband (a high school teacher) and I reside in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood of St. Paul with our two cats, Gus and Sushi. I hope you enjoy the things I have listed here! Please let me know if you have any questions or comments!
