You may wonder: what kind of name is Saaba Lutzeler? And here is the answer: it's Ethiopian, and it means Queen of Sheba.

Half Ethiopian and half white American, I am - among other things- a Peace Corps product. (My father was a volunteer; my mother, an employee).

After living in many places including Tasmania, California, and Germany, I have returned to my native St. Louis, where I am now (excitedly) shifting careers from portrait-painting to English teaching.
