Art from her Heart …. by Kathy Whitehead & illustrated by Shane W. Evans
Do not wait for the perfect time to create…
A picture book biography of the remarkable folk artist Clementine Hunter, who defied all odds for her passion of painting.
An awe inspiring journey of her paintings hanging on her clothesline to hanging in museums, yet because of the color of her skin, a friend had to sneak her in when the gallery was closed. Can you imagine being an artist who isn’t allowed into your own show? That’s what happened to folk artist Clementine Hunter.
With lyrical writing and striking water colour illustrations, that capture the essence of her life and work, this picture book biography introduces kids to a self-taught artist whose paintings captured scenes of backbreaking work and joyous celebrations of a farm life.
Art from her Heart written by Kathy Whitehead & illustrated by Shane W. Evans is a book that gives younger readers the opportunity to learn about Clementine Hunter’s important contributions to folk art and the obstacles she faced as an African American woman artist. A picture book about, dreams fantasies and the real life challenges related to farm work, human resources, and discrimination.
