Ardyth's roots were in Salt Lake City, with an Irish Catholic father and a Swedish-Norwegian Mormon mother, but she was born in tiny Glenada, Oregon. She grew up in Salt Lake City and Albany, Oregon, attended Oregon State College in Corvallis (now Oregon State University), and lived most of the rest of her life in Portland.Ardyth began publishing poems and short stories at age 15 and gained national fame with her first novel, The Peaceable Kingdom, based on the life of her maternal grandmother, a second wife in polygamy in late-nineteenth-century Utah. She married the Viennese émigré Egon V. Ullman, a physician, in 1940, sharing with him a lifelong love of books and literature. She also had a second career late in life as a collage and mixed-media artist, with her strikingly original pieces exhibited in Portland galleries.visualizza meno
