Mary Cassatt was an American artist who lived much of her life in France and became an important member of the Impressionist movement. Born in 1844, she was one of the few female artists to participate in the Impressionist exhibitions, and her works often focused on the intimate relationships between mothers and children.
Cassatt was known for her use of color and loose brushwork, as well as her sensitivity to the emotional experiences of women. She was also a prominent advocate for women's rights and used her artwork to challenge traditional gender roles. Her work has had a lasting impact on both American and European art and continues to be celebrated for its tender and insightful depictions of the lives of women and children.

We appreciated the variety of classroom art projects presented.
Our lecturer was well liked by teachers and students. She is professional and responsive to each age group of students. I also found her to be excellent as our coordinator and workshop presenter. We felt very fortunate that she was with us.
