The Real Amelia & Remember Me

Our theme for the Artist Challenge this week was ‘Remember Me.” I chose Amelia Earhart as my subject and she’s the latest addition to my Master’s Series. My work is based on an actual photo of Amelia. Although she’s been portrayed by many wonderful actresses, I think it would be fair to say none have quite done her justice. Amelia was a highly intelligent and absolutely stunning natural blond beauty.

She was born Amelia Mary Earhart- July 24, 1897 and went missing July 2, 1937. She was declared legally dead January 5, 1939.

Amelia was a noted American aviator and author. She was the first woman to receive the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for flying solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. She was a faculty member of Purdue University and counseled women in careers in aviation. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party, and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.

During an attempt to fly around the world in 1937 she disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Fascination with her life, career and disappearance continues to this day. Amelia is most definitely a Master of ‘Remember Me’ and one we will never forget.
