Edna Hibel is one of America's most endearing and enduring artists; her unique style of artistry is instantly recognizable and loved by millions worldwide. Her commitment to the world of art, along with her lifelong message of beauty, love and compassion, has not gone unrecognized. She received the prestigious Leonardo da Vinci World Award of Arts, given every 3 years by the World Cultural Council; also she was the unanimous choice to create a work of art to commemorate the White House's 200th birthday. Sami Plotkin, Edna's granddaughter, presents this personal perspective of Edna as only a close member of the family could, offering candid interviews with the artist and memorable reflections by family and friends. In this context we see how Edna's life experiences influenced her art and artistry, and discover that beyond her personal success has been a continued effort to reach out to charitable causes to help promote the universal message of peace and love.
