#goals – being interviewed by Classical MPR’s Steve Staruch for ‘Music with Minnesotans’!

I had the great honor to be interviewed by Classical MPR’s Steve Staruch for his program ‘Music with Minnesotans’! The interview was aired Friday, June 14, at 3:30 pm CST on Classical MPR. Steve had invited me to be on the show after seeing my work on my website and, in his own words, being ‘captivated’ by it. This was amazing for me to hear –   Classical MPR has been my companion for many years, and Steve Staruch’s voice in the afternoon has been a constant presence. To be featured on ‘Music with Minnesotans’ and to have met Steve in person was so immensely gratifying. He was wonderful to talk to – an empathetic and supportive listener, which made my initial nervousness dissolve, and enabled me to freely share my thoughts.
   So, if you want to hear a few things about my history – growing up in Germany, how I started loving classical music, how I ended up in Minnesota, and my three favorite classical pieces, which were incredibly hard to pick – have a listen! The interview is available online at Classical MPR – Music with Minnesotans, together with some pictures of Steve’s studio visit at our house.

My work at Brookview Community Center!

All set up @brookviewgoldenvalley community center! It was so fun installing my sculptures in this beautifully designed and brand new building! I love the integration of plenty of daylight into the architecture. My pieces, all from my animal series, will be on display and for sale for three months – stop by, take a look and grab a bite to eat at the restaurant! That’s exactly what I will do soon.
