From AskART: "A child prodigy, at age eight Violetta Raditz did whimsical drawings that were exhibited at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Although an easel and mural painter, printmaker and designer, she is especially noted for her childhood work, which was rediscovered by the art world beginning in 1959. Basically self taught, she grew up in an art-oriented household as her father was portrait painter, Lazar Raditz (1887-1958). She moved to Ireland with her first husband William Flaccus and designed theater sets there.

In 1945, after a divorce, she took a trip to Haiti, where she painted, using pastels as her medium . . ."
