Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This one is a classic misplace. I first learned about it by encountering this sentence. Running up a tree, I saw a squirrel. It's pretty obvious what's wrong. Who or what is running up that tree. Certainly not me.

This example is much the same. Art is not growing up in Wisconsin. She is growing up in Wisconsin. However fixing it is not so simple. How about

Answer: She found art to be important in her growing up years.

It's not perfect, but it is correct.
