Allina Hospice Benefit Theme
Care, honor, love, give. The annual gala is held in the spring each year. This year the gala benefits patients at the newly opened J.A. Wedum Residential Hospice. I was hired to give the benefit a fresh new look, and one they could use over the next few years and...
What the heck is a content management system?
A lot of my clients have asked me this question regarding websites. Think of a website being made of "layers". A website is built from HTML code. The design of a website displays content so it's user-friendly to the viewer. In a way, the design is like a skin, and the...
Connie Kauppi, Shiatsu & Thai Yoga Massage
It's all about energy (qi) I met Connie, a shiatsu and thai yoga masseuse, one bright and sunny morning in a coffee shop in St. Paul. Literally, we had to wear our sunglasses in the coffee shop. She had called me the previous day, exclaiming that she was sick and...

Almond Puff Pastry, anyone?
Food is love. We all know someone who bakes or cooks with such passion and skill that every morsel they make is filled with that energy and love. For one of my best friends, that was her mother. I did this painting for that friend's birthday recently in dedication to...
Energy Management Made Visual
A little background I've always been drawn to making facts more visually interesting. When I was about 10 years old I remember sitting in my grandma's swiveling armchair, reading through this big book of graphs. Mostly odd statistics, like "How many Americans buy a...
Mug Shot
Sometimes the smallest things can make your day. My husband and I went on a mini-adventure to Stillwater yesterday. There is an awesome kitchen store there, called The Chef's Gallery. It is huge. I love kitchen stores anyway, but this one has a unique, cozy feel while...
Make me up, before we go-go…
My good friend, Holly, is a fantastic makeup artist. She has years of experience in professional makeup application, and a true love for her field. She is an artist, and like all artists, has a keen eye for detail. She notices everything. I have to admit, I often...
