Reflections

Donna Mae Swanson Ellenson loved both art and literature. Finding both interesting at an early age, she started nurturing these hobbies until they became lifelong passions. She used her talent working on the Roseau Ram yearbook while in high school and later as a way to relax well raising her seven children. She would read books and take classes to help her advance in her skills. If you study the men in Donna's sketches, except for the portraits of her father, they all have similar characteristics of her true love of 48 years, her husband Kenneth.
