In Raised to Wonder, Artist Kathleen McCloud tracks her path as an artist to the sense making required as a child growing up in industrial suburbs during the 1960s when pollution was the price of progress. The disconnect between the world outside and the one at home, depicted in the pastoral scenes her mother painted in each house they lived in, required a bridge. She considers how her hands, as modeled by her artist mother, tapped into her heart’s-desire for a world as magical as the smell of the Wonder Bread factory.
