As an artist, storyteller, educator, and feminist activist, Faith Ringgold uses her art to reflect on turmoil and change while preserving her memories in mixed-media creations. The bold colors and inventive compositions allow her painted story quilts to blur the line between fine art and craft while highlighting the importance of family, cultural roots, and artistic collaboration. Ringgold’s French Collection tells the fictional story of Willia Marie Simone, a young African American woman who leaves Harlem for Paris to live as an artist and model. Follow Willia on her journey through Paris with this stunning wall calendar.
