Ablaze with color : a story of painter Alma Thomas / written by Jeanne Walker Harvey ; illustrated by Loveis Wise.
As a child in Georgia, Alma Thomas loved to spend time outside, soaking up the colors around her. Despite the racial injustices they faced, her parents filled their home with creativity. After the family moved to Washington, DC, Alma shared her passion for art by teaching children. When she was almost seventy years old, she focused on her own artwork, inspired by nature and space travel. With the use of vibrant color in her paintings, Alma sought to focus on beauty and joy. This is the inspiring true story of Alma Thomas, the first Black woman to have a solo exhibit at the Whitney Museum in New York City and the first Black woman to have her work chosen for the White House collection. With her bold abstract paintings, Alma set the world ablaze with color.
