<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CrisMas, post: 2167247, member: 15054&quot;]Mildred was my aunt.&nbsp; She was an artist in NYC.&nbsp; She was most known for her lucite fruit found on many coffee tables in the 1970s and one of her apples is in the Smithsonian. Mildred was able to capture light in the lucite and it looked like dancing fireflies. She was commissioned by Mayor LaGuardia to make these apples which he gave to visiting dignitaries during his term in office.&nbsp; She held many patents for fiber optics, lucite, as well as jewelry making.&nbsp; Quite an accomplishment for a woman who grew up in an orphanage.&nbsp; She owned a lighting store in NYC called Luminere Creations.&nbsp; Her lighting pieces were featured in many home show editions of New York Magazine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
