Arrived into this life via Swedish Hospital in Minneapolis Minnesota in October 1950---earlier in the morning than I would have preferred. Retired high school art and philosophy teacher (30 fascinating years with complex and interesting teens.) Privileged to share life with Wonder the white shepherd, and cherish memories of white shepherd Pojke and wolf hybrid Sirius. Delightfully divorced and living/creating in a bizarre mural-and-mixed-media-filled home in the arts quarter of Minneapolis. Home has been featured on HGTV and Twin Cities home tours. Grateful to be able to continue painting despite rheumatoid arthritis.
