Ablaze with Color: A Story of Painter Alma Thomas By Jeanne Walker Harvey

As a child in Georgia, Alma Thomas loved to spend time outside, soaking up the colors around her. Her parents filled their home with color and creativity despite the injustices they faced. 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.

Jeanne Walker Harvey and Loveis Wise tell the incredible true story of Alma Thomas, the first Black woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum in New York City and to have her work chosen for the White House collection.
