An Artist's Journey From Key West to Paris

By Jackie Peters Cully

Jackie Peters Cully is an 86 year old artist who continues to paint almost daily. This short sweet book paints a verbal portrait of her early years. The memoir is written in verse for a Young Adult (YA) audience. The unique layout of the story poems draw readers of all ages into her coming-of-age journey as a person and an artist. Born in Key West, Florida she traces her road from there to Paris as she grows as an artist. Her poetry touches on universal themes of family, memories, dreams and goals of the very young. Jackie made history after her return from Paris when she became one of the first African-American textile designers in New York City. Her 60+ year career as an artist has spanned many genres and provides inspiration about the value of the creative life for people of all ages.
