Marty Amundson Bio- Years ago, art classes were the focus of my college course work. During my sophomore year, I changed my major from Art education to speech language pathology and entered the world of speech language, hearing science and special education in the public schools. Creating and learning about art became a distanct memory as marriage, raising a family and college courses and career development took top priority in my life.

After retiring from a career in special education adminitstration in 2019, I rediscovered my passion for all things art related. I joined FiftyNorth and began attending Art Club as well as taking classes in collage/mixed media, acrylic and watercolor painting. Saori weaving and peg loom weaving are a couple of my favorite creative outlets. In addition to in-person classes, I study and learn via YouTube, Instagram and FaceBook groups. My art supplies and materials have quickly expanded over the past 3 years as I continue to fuel my rekindled love for art. 

Best advice I can give you is: join Art Club and learn from fellow members at FiftyNorth. You will make new friends and continue to learn and grow.
