ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

I am a 36-year veteran of the Minneapolis-St. Paul publishing, design and marketing communities, and a former poetry selection judge for the Minnesota Book Awards.

My photos have been featured in a variety of scholarly and consumer trade books. My own photo-illustrated gift books have sold more than half a million copies through Target and other Big Box and bookstore outlets, and have spent more than two years on U.S. BookScan®’s reference, self-help, and juvenile nonfiction bestseller reports.

My fine art portraiture combines my lifelong professional and personal interests in literature, design and performing arts.
