Some people spend all their lives looking for something they can be passionate about. Other people, however, embrace topics that deeply interest them and devote their entire lives to the subject. Enid Carole Swanson was one of the second type of people.

Swanson led a long, full life before dying at age 87. She had six children throughout her years but always harbored a love for an interest in art. After her children grew older and she found she had more time on her hands, she began exploring with watercolor, oil, and acrylic painting. Swanson filled her days by attending art classes and socializing with different art groups and leagues. “It was a huge part of her life,” said Janet Biechlin, one of Swanson’s daughters.
