Angels Holding Candles, Original Holiday Greeting Card Christmas Illustration Medium: Watercolor Signature: Unsigned Charlotte Joan Sternberg was born in Meriden, Connecticut in 1920.

Her fellow classmates included Rudolph Zallinger, who executed the dinosaur mural at the Peabody Museum in New Haven; Jean Day Zallinger, renowned book illustrator; and Edward Paier, founder of the Paier College of Art. It was there that she became interested in egg tempera, and most of her well-known artwork was done in this medium. She was one of a number of Yale artists who revived this medium.(She did not work professionally in oils, although she sometimes used gouache or watercolor.)

She was commissioned to do several portraits, including those of Gov.John Lodge...
