Born in a small farming community in Illinois in 1959, P.T.’s growing-up years were spent immersed in the elements of nature. After graduating from college in Iowa, a move to Minneapolis is where a love for artistic endeavors first emerged. As a hobby, the future artist started mixing artistic papers and paints with found objects.

After a successful business career, the artist is devoting full-time attention to the first love of mixing mediums to create bold and harmonious two- and three-dimensional constructions. Collections of the artist’s work can be found in galleries in Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, New York, and Atlanta.
