“My education at the University of Minnesota, my early work at the MMAA, and my curatorial/director experience at the University of St. Catherine led me to 15 years of work with a corporate art exhibition program. In turn, this opened up my world to graphic design, publication of art books and catalogues, and greater curatorial skills as an art consultant for a private collection.”
