Happy Birthday to American painter Mary Cassatt, born on May 22, 1844. Born in Pennsylvania, she lived in France most of her life. She was a figure painter of great distinction who showed among the Impressionists, worked with Edgar Degas, and was awarded the Legion d'honneur in 1904. In Tea from 1880, she can be seen encouraging anyone to come enjoy tea and a discussion of poetry on Wednesdays at 4:00pm at The Green Center.
