Description

Enjoy this 18x27 framed poster under glass by the renowned Edna Hibel - an artist, sculptor and painter who is especially loved for her mother and child creations.


Hibel was born in 1917 in Boston, where she grew up. She spent many summers at the shore in Hull and in Maine studying watercolor painting.  She began painting at the age of 9 in elementary school.


For over 40 years, Hibel has been referred to as America's best loved and most versatile artist, and best colorist. Since being commissioned by the Foundation of the U.S. National Archives in 1995 to commemorate 75 years of women receiving the universal right to vote, Hibel has been acclaimed  as the "Heart and Conscience of America," when Ms. Lucy Baines Johnson, of the U.S. National Archives, described her as such. Hibel now operates two of her own galleries in Florida.
