About the only way I can summarize Art's Odyssey Unplanned is to quote Mark Twain on the subject of Adventure. He said, "An adventure is something unpleasant that happened to someone else."My story is a young life full of adventures, and even though some of them could be construed to be unpleasant, as long as I came out of them intact, I never regretted having had the experiences. In a very real sense my life was enriched by those experiences.I honestly believe they gave me a confidence in myself that led me to live as an adult with few fears of inadequacy or of failing in any endeavor on which I'd embark. That resulted in experiencing shattering grief at the tragedies of the deaths of younger family members, but then regaining the customary joie de vivre of my life. Who could ask for anything more?

My great-grandfather Sven W. Swenson was born in 1886 in Sweden. He met and married my great-grandmother Agnèta. They soon left Sweden and made Wisconsin their home, and in 1913, they had my grandfather Lloyd. Sven always had a passion for art and the outdoors. He loved being outside, capturing God's gifts on film. Sven taught my grandfather how to hunt and fish. The Great Depression came along, and money was sparse, so hunting and fishing was food on the table. Sven often went out with his son to capture his life in time. While time stood still with the photos, his mind did not. Sven made it his life's mission to capture nature's glory in the purest form. Sven really wanted to publish his photos and poems, but due to the economy, he was unable to do so. I am the great-granddaughter of Sven and have been blessed to find a legacy that had been captured so long ago. All of this has been tucked away amongst passages of time and life of what was. Now everyone can enjoy the raw and emotional images and photos and see the beauty through his eyes of what the Lord has provided. Sven passed in 1938, Agnèta passed in 1970, and my grandfather Lloyd passed in 1992. Lloyd is on the cover of this book, who's legacy will continue. Thank you, Sven, and all of my family members who have passed, for allowing me to help accomplish a passionate dream, and letting this come alive with the Holy Spirit.- Arlys Swenson, great-granddaughter of Sven Swenson
