Professor Irena Roman’s original watercolors created for the children’s book A Mother’s Wish (Harper Collins, 2006) have been acquired by The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for their permanent collection of contemporary illustration.

Deputy Director/Chief Curator Stephanie Plunkett states the museum  “looks forward to preserving and presenting all twenty five paintings for many years to come.” The watercolors will be on display in the Rockwell’s new acquisitions gallery later this season.
