Secretary
Kim Wanink
This is my second year on the Manitoba art league. It is a wonderful bunch of talented people. I am especially enjoying the plein air experiences! I retired as a nursing instructor after 40 years of nursing including consulting, management, and organizational structure. I still miss the nursing and patients but am in a new phase of life with retirement. Beadwork, lapidary, punch needle, and watercolor painting. I also decided retirement was a good time to learn the violin. I live in Wakefield, just across the Michigan border and close to Lake Superior where I get so much inspiration.
