Description of the Piece:
I use a stamp to tell my story of this Master of Change. She is a symbol of courage and vision. She was a very unique woman. A true American pioneer.
At the top of the painting is her Lockheed Electra set against stylized clouds. Behind Amelia in the background is a graphically simple map of the world with her route and stops along the way.
Amelia's image itself is also stylized and is based upon two photos of her from the Smithsonian Institute. The price of the stamp (3¢) was the price of a regular first class stamp from 1933 to 1958. The border of the stamp is cloud white while the background is blue/grey, representing the sky. The overall sepia tone of the painting is typical of illustration from her period.
Why a Master
Amelia Earhart grew up in an age when the list of things a lady didn't do was extensive. A young girl could aspire to become a nurse, but never a doctor. Even wearing pants in public as cause for shock. Earhart broke all the molds. Her approach to life can best be explained by a poem she wrote titled Courage.
Courage
Courage is the price that life
Extracts for granting peace —
The soul that knows it not,
Knows no release from little things.
Extracts for granting peace —
The soul that knows it not,
Knows no release from little things.
Knows not the livid loneliness
Of fear nor mountain heights
Where bitter joy and hear the
Sound of wings.
Of fear nor mountain heights
Where bitter joy and hear the
Sound of wings.
How can life grant us boon of living,
Compensate for dull gray ugliness
And pregnant hate unless we dare
The soul's domain?
Compensate for dull gray ugliness
And pregnant hate unless we dare
The soul's domain?
Each time we Make a choice we pay with
Courage — to behold restless day
And count it fair.
— Amelia Earhart
Courage — to behold restless day
And count it fair.

* What is a Fine Art Giclée?
A giclée is a state-of-the art reproduction that gives a vibrant color, rich detail and the appearance of the lush texture of an original painting.
Giclée, a French printmaker’s term for “fine spray”, distinguishes this technique from ordinary offset printing. It also signifies that the process and materials used to create the print were specifically intended for the fine art market.
A giclée is created by a digital printer’s tiny ink jets that spray millions of droplets of water-based ink onto fine archival paper or canvas. These specific inks are carefully selected to assure maximum print longevity.
Giclées are produced one at a time. This intricate printing process can take up to an hour or more for each print on fine archival paper or canvas. The result, a beautifully reproduced work of art with the look and feel of the original painting.
