Meet Mary Cassatt, a talented artist known for her beautiful paintings of mothers and children. Born in 1844, Mary grew up in America but spent most of her life in France, where she became friends with other famous artists. She loved to paint pictures that showed the special bond between mothers and their little ones. Mary's artwork is full of bright colors and soft, gentle lines that make you feel warm inside. She was one of the few women in a group called the Impressionists, who painted pictures that looked like they were full of light and movement. Mary Cassatt's paintings remind us of the love and joy in everyday life.
