Enjoy a special morning at The Walt Disney Family Museum and in its beautiful Fantasia-themed theater on August 17! At this playdate, hear from the illustrator, Disney artist Brittney Lee, and author, San Francisco-based writer Amy Novesky, as they read from their book Mary Blair's Unique Flair: The Girl Who Became One of the Disney Legends. Lee and Novesky will also answer questions about how Blair inspired their own creative work.
As a young girl, Mary Blair loved painting in every color of the rainbow, and she dreamed of one day creating art that people from all over the world could enjoy and be inspired by. But she had to overcome a number of obstacles before she could ultimately make her dream a reality. In this new picture book, follow Mary Blair’s journey from young aspiring artist to one of The Walt Disney Studios’ most influential and memorable designers.
The book will be available for purchase in the Museum Store beginning August 13, 2019.
