Participants will recreate this iconic painting while discovering the remarkable woman who made his legacy possible. All supplies are provided.

Art is inspired by the book, The Secret Life of Sunflowers by Marta Molnar

“A work of historical fiction derived from the letters of Johanna Bonger van Gogh, the sister-in-law of painter Vincent van Gogh. The novel explores the connection of fictional Emsley Wilson to Johanna through Johanna’s diary and letters, which are given to Emsley by her artist grandmother, Violet Velar, just before Violet’s death. Through reading about Johanna’s struggles to bring her brother-in-law to fame, Emsley finds the encouragement needed to persevere toward her own goals as both she and Johanna battle the gender norms of their respective eras.”
