Opis

Urania is the Founder/President Emeritus of the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS), established in 1994. Urania's story is one of positive attitude, thankfulness, and a pay-it-forward belief. A remarkable journey from her early chldhood years in an orphanage--to being reunited with her mother after five years--to the realization then that she had quite famous ancestors who also carried the Christy name. Her early love of music was ignited when at age seven she saw a production of Christy's Minstrels. The recognition of the smell of turpentine is traced back to the famous artist, Howard Chandler Christy, whom she met in New York at eight. "Yes I Can" is a permanent part of her vocabulary. "Of Cabbages and Kings" became her mantra; she believes that if you can dare to dream it, you can do it. Devoting herself to learning how to paint as a young mother of three, she instilled "Yes I Can" in countless artists who have followed in her footsteps. The founding of IAPS in 1994 created a platform for an entire generation of professional artists and teachers. She is an inspiration on a global scale. Many of the artists who were influenced by Urania are featured in this book, with large images of their art. Prepare to be enthralled at her story, and the countless other stories from others who followed in this feisty redhead's trail
