Description

Using mixed media, I turned this sweet purple Cosmos, with detailed yellow center, into a beautiful Bas Relief work. To it, I added a quote from Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, a children's author.

Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, pseudonym Susan Coolidge, (born Jan. 29, 1835, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.—died April 9, 1905, Newport, R.I.), American children’s author whose vivacious and mischievous heroines presented a popular contrast to the norm of her day. Britannica

Woolsey displayed a love for reading and writing stories at an early age. In 1855 she moved with her family to New Haven, Connecticut (her uncle, Theodore Dwight Woolsey, was president of Yale College). During the Civil War she was active in hospital work. In 1870, after her father’s death, the family settled in Newport, Rhode Island. By that time Sarah Woolsey had already published a few magazine articles, and, in part through the influence of her close friend Helen Hunt (Jackson), she began to write in earnest.
Woolsey’s first book, a collection of stories for girls, appeared as The New-Year’s Bargain under the pseudonym Susan Coolidge in 1871. She used that name thereafter. Her subsequent books include What Katy Did (1872), a novel for girls that was inspired by her own childhood and was the first of a highly popular series; Mischief’s Thanksgiving (1874); Eyebright (1879); A Little Country Girl (1885); Just Sixteen (1889); The Barberry Bush (1893); and An Old Convent School in Paris and Other Papers (1895). The good-natured mischief and high-spirited heroines of Woolsey’s books set them apart from much contemporary literature and helped them retain their popularity for decades.
