Mary Cassatt is the artist chosen to be showcased in my museum exhibit. She is well known for her paintings of women and children.

This painting in a Private Collection. This painting was chosen for the exhibit because children are so curious about everything and it’s a mother’s job to explain. Children show curiosity in different ways and it is more important than ever for a parent to explain things to a child. In early childhood a child depends solely on what is being told to them.
