May 3, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Learning to Fly"

Author Diane Kleiss will talk about the process she went through while writing about her art journey in her book 'Learning to Fly'.

"That would not have happened without my years of journal writing helping to trigger my memories," Kleiss said.

"I was an artist from the time I could hold a crayon. This is a memoir about my lifelong pursuit to fill my life with artistic endeavors, to keep reaching for the next workshop, exhibit, or gallery representation around the country."

Diane Kleiss was born in an Iowa Heartland farming community. After a move to Minnesota and then college at the University of Minnesota in Duluth she received a BFA in painting, a minor in art history and a K-12 teaching degree in 1989.
