| PENJING |
| My interest in the art of plants in a container was reborn in 2006 when I joined the Minnesota Bonsai Society. There I acquired my first bonsai, a golden gate ficus which I won for one dollar in a raffle. This bonsai evolved into my first 'Tree and Land' penjing. Through activities within MBS my knowledge and skill of the art has steadily improved so that I'm now eager to show my work. Just click on a name or button to go there. And enjoy! |

| Often I'm asked how long I've been active in bonsai, and in a lot of words my answer always describes a 'bonsai tree of learning' and where I am on that tree. So I hand-sketched this imagined tree. Where am I on the tree? Answer at bottom of picture frame. |
