They wanted to help, so their father, Ken Adams, who is halfJapanese, taught them the art of origami. They learned to fold paper into beautiful Christmas ornaments, which people received in exchange for their donations. The sisters raised $10,000 for their first water well in Ethiopia. The project grew into a nonprofit organization, Paper for Water. Isabelle, now 14, and Katherine, now 12, share in the role of chief executive officer for the agency. The sisters are assisted by their parents and 8-year-old sister, Trinity. They also have the help of hundreds of origami volunteers known as the Paper Dolls, who hold folding parties every week. Together, they have raised $1.3 million and funded more than 150 water projects in 14 countries. Featured as one of Neiman Marcus' fantasy gifts, the organization raised $50,000. The proceeds provided a village of 350 people with two water wells. Isabelle and Katherine have received numerous awards, spoken in front of 8,000 people and visited their wells around the world. Currently, they are helping bring clean water to 250 homes on a Navajo Reservation in New Mexico. Clean water is not a luxury. It is everyone’s priceless right.

In 2011, 8-year-old Isabelle Adams and her 5-year-old sister, Katherine, learned that girls in third-world countries often didn’t go to school because they had to haul water all day. They also learned that a child dies every 15 seconds from unclean water.

We never know what the catalyst may be that sets us on an exciting new path in life. For Helen Rappel Bordman and her daughter, Aileen, that profound change happened thanks to Claude Monet, one of the founders of French Impressionist painting. Helen Bordman visited Monet’s Water Lilies exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1977. At the time, she never imagined she’d become one of a handful of Americans to raise millions of dollars to restore and maintain Monet’s home and exquisite gardens in Giverny, France. The property had fallen into disrepair after he died in 1926 at the age of 86. The project came under the helm of Gerald Van der Kemp, who masterminded the restoration of the Palace of Versailles and hid the Mona Lisa from the Nazis. Now 86, Bordman has spent every spring for the past 38 years living on Monet’s estate, in a house with a plaque that honors her. She oversees the volunteer program she started, which helped bring the 2-acre property back to its original glory.
On ne peut jamais prévoir quel sera le catalyseur qui nous mènera sur une nouvelle voie passionante dans la vie. Pour Helen Rappel Bordman et sa fille Aileen, ce changement profond s’est effectué grâce à Claude Monet, l’un des fondateurs de l’impressionisme. Lorsqu’Helen Bordman a visité l’exposition de Monet intitulée Les Nymphéas au Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York en 1977, elle ne pouvait pas s’imaginer qu’elle serait parmi un nombre infime d’américains à recueillir des millions de dollars pour la restauration et la préservation de la maison de Monet et de ses ravissants jardins à Giverny en France. La propriété s’était détériorée à la mort de l’artiste en 1926 quand celui-ci avait 86 ans. Le projet a été mis sous la direction de Gerald Van der Kemp qui a dirigé la restauration du Palais de Versailles et celui qui avait caché La Joconde aux Nazis. Aujourd’hui, à l’âge de 86 ans et depuis maintenant 38 ans, Bordman passe tous ses printemps sur la propriété de Monet dans une maison portant une plaque qui l’honore elle-même. Elle dirige le programme de bénévoles qu’elle a mis sur pied et qui a contribué à la renaissance de la propriété de près de 8.000 mètres carrés et l’a restaurée à sa gloire antérieure.
Giverny, France

Claude Monet, 1905
Since reopening in 1980, it has become the third most popular site in France between the months of April and October. An estimated total of 22 million people — 8,000 per day currently — have made the pilgrimage to Giverny in the province of Normandy. Meryl Streep, one of many celebrities who has visited Giverny, nominated Bordman in 2017 for membership in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, one of France’s highest awards. Streep herself had received the honor in 2003. Monet also had a profound effect on Aileen Bordman’s life. “I was 27 when I visited Monet’s home for the first time and instantly fell in love. There were fresh flowers, Camembert, baguettes and wine on the dining table. I could smell the fragrance from the flower and vegetable gardens visible from the window, and hear the patter of rain like the string section of the most stunning orchestra,” she recalled. After years of working as a Wall Street investment banker, which didn’t nourish her artistic soul, Aileen Bordman left the investment world and became a full-time filmmaker, photographer and author. Her documentary Monet’s Palate — narrated by Streep, and featuring art collector Steve Wynn and chef Alice Waters, a leader in the farm-to-table movement — was sponsored by Vegas PBS and aired on Public Broadcasting Service stations nationwide.
Depuis sa réouverture en 1980, Giverny est devenu le troisième site le plus populaire en France entre avril et octobre. Environ 22 millions de personnes-8.000 par jour actuellement-ont fait le pélerinage à Giverny en Normandie. Meryl Streep, une des célébrités en visite à Giverny, a nommé Bordman comme membre de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres en 2007, un des honneurs les plus prestigieux de France. Streep elle-même en était bénéficiaire en 2003. Monet a également eu une influence majeure dans la vie d’Aileen Bordman. Elle s’en souvient en ces mots: “J’avais 27 ans lorsque j’ai visité la maison de Monet pour la première fois et j’ai eu le coup de foudre. Il y a avait des fleurs fraîches, du Camembert, des baguettes et du vin sur la table de la salle à manger. De la fenêtre, je pouvais sentir l’odeur émanant du jardin des fleurs et du potager et entendre le bruit des gouttes de pluie qui ressemblait au son d’un fabuleux orchestre à cordes.” Après avoir travaillé pendant des années à Wall Street comme investisseuse, un poste qui ne nourrissait nullement son esprit artistique, Aileen Bordman quitte le monde de l’investissement pour devenir réalisatrice, photographe et écrivaine à plein temps. Son documentaire intitulé Monet’s Palate (Le Goût de Monet) avec Streep en tant que narratrice a été sponsorisé par PBS Vegas et retransmis sur la chaîne publique américaine Public Broadcasting Service. Le documentaire inclut le collectionneur d’art Steve Wynn et le chef Alice Waters, pionnière du movement de la ferme-à-la table.
The author’s second book, Everyday Monet (HarperCollins), due out in June, will be sold in museums around the world.
Le deuxième livre de l’auteur, Everyday Monet (Monet au quotidien) publié par HarperCollins, sera lancé en juin et en vente dans de nombreux musées autour du monde.
“I think of Monet as a starfish with all these points of interest that included painting, art, travel, food, gardening and entertaining. I wanted to write a book that expressed his entire life.”
“J’imagine Monet comme une étoile de mer avec une multitude de points d’intérêt qui incluent la peinture, l’art, les voyages, la gastronomie, le jardinage et les divertissements. Je voulais écrire un livre qui exprime sa vie toute entière.”
Everyday Monet is filled with stunning photographs from the painter’s lush gardens, to his beloved Normandy. The book includes some of Monet’s famous pieces of art; a watercolor by Tony Bennett called “Lovers in Monet’s Garden”; a guide to
Everyday Monet (Monet au quotidien) contient des photographies représentant ses jardins luxuriants aussi bien que sa Normandie bienaimée. Le livre inclut certaines oeuvres très connues qui appartenaient à Monet: en particulier, une aquarelle de Tony Bennett intitulée Lovers in

implementing Monet’s beautiful designs into any home and garden, whether living on a country estate or in a city apartment; and original recipes that will inspire your inner Impressionist. “Monet was as passionate about food as he was painting,” the inspired author noted. “He often returned to London not because he wanted to paint the bridges on the River Thames so many times, but because he loved the Yorkshire pudding served at the Savoy Hotel. “He discovered zucchini while painting in Provence, (France) and brought the seeds, and many herbs, back to Giverny. He fell in love with tulips while painting in Amsterdam and planted different colored bulbs at his front door. He collected Japanese woodblock prints, which was the only art that hung in his dining room, where he entertained heads of state and celebrities like Isadora Duncan.” Unlike many artists, Monet lived to enjoy a degree of wealth, which didn’t seem likely early in his career. In fact, Monet and other impressionists, like Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro, were vilified, scorned and attacked by France’s conventional art community for breaking rules that were hundreds of years old. While most painters went to the Louvre to copy the old masters, Monet sat by a window and painted what he saw outside the museum. In 1860, taking a palette outside was revolutionary, but the light at different times of day was important to Monet and was the reason he painted the same scene so many times. Rejected and dejected, Monet and his wife, Camille — the subject of a number of his paintings, including “Camille aka The Woman in a Green Dress” and “Camille on the Beach at Trouville” — lived in poverty. She bore two sons and died in 1879 at 32. After her death, Monet created some of his best works and began to enjoy success. In 1883, Monet moved his family to Giverny, 50 miles from Paris. As his wealth grew, his garden evolved. He was its architect, drawing precise
Monet’s Garden (Les Amoureux dans le Jardin de Monet). Le livre contient également un guide pour intégrer les beaux concepts de design inspirés par Monet dans toute maison ou jardin que vous habitiez dans un domaine en campagne ou dans un appartement en ville. Finalement, Everyday Monet (Monet au quotidien) est plein de recettes originales qui inspireront votre esprit impressionniste. “Monet était passionné par la nourriture quand il peignait,” nous dit l’auteur. “Il retournait souvent à Londres non pas parce qu’il voulait peindre les ponts du Thames en plusieurs versions, mais parce qu’il avait un goût prononcé pour le pudding Yorkshire servi à l’hôtel Savoy.” “Il a fait la découverte des courgettes lorsqu’il peignait en Provence (France) et a ramené des graines ainsi que des herbes à Giverny. Il est tombé amoureux des tulipes lorsqu’il travaillait à Amsterdam et plante des bulbes multicolores à sa porte d’entrée. Monet collectionnait des estampes japonaises, le seul art sur les murs de sa salle à manger, le lieu où il recevait des chefs d’état et des célébrités comme Isidora Duncan.” Contrairement à beaucoup d’artistes, Monet a vécu dans la fortune ce qui semblait peu prévisible au début de sa carrière. En fait, Monet et d’autres impressionnistes comme Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas et Camille Pissaro avaient été dénigrés et calomniés par la communauté artistique française très conservatrice à l’époque. Celle-ci n’appréciait nullement qu’on vienne enfreindre les conventions artistiques qui existaient depuis cent ans. Alors que la plupart des artistes s’acheminaient au Louvre pour copier les grands maîtres de la peinture, Monet s’installait près d’une fenêtre et peignait ce qu’il voyait en dehors du musée. En 1860, c’était révolutionnaire de mettre sa palette à l’extérieur. Mais la lumière aux différents moments de la journée était très importante pour Monet et la raison pour laquelle il peignait la même scène plusieurs fois. Monet s’est senti rejeté et abattu et il a vécu dans la pauvreté avec sa femme Camille. Celle-ci est le sujet d’un grand nombre de ses oeuvres qui comptent Camille ou La femme à la robe verte et Camille assise sur la plage à Trouville. Elle a eu 2 fils et elle est morte en 1879 à l’âge de 32 ans. C’est après sa mort que Monet a créé ses chefs-d’oeuvre et a finalement connu du succès. Monet a déménagé avec sa famille à Giverny en 1883, à 80 kilomètres de Paris. Son jardin a évolué avec sa fortune. Il en était l’architecte, conceptualisant avec précision l’aménagement et la

designs for planting and giving daily instructions to seven gardeners. He purchased additional land with a water meadow and began a vast landscaping project that included lily ponds with a Japanese bridge. It was an homage to the Japanese culture he loved, which became the subject of his best-known paintings. Today, Monet’s work fetches a high price.“Le Pont du chemin de fer à Argenteuil” sold for $37 million; “Les Meules” (Haystacks) sold for $81.4 million; and “Le Bassin aux Nympheas” (1919) sold for $90.4 million. Monet said, “People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.” Helen and Aileen Bordman love Monet, and they are doing their part to honor, preserve and share his legacy with the world.

C’était un hommage à la culture japonaise qu’il aimait et qui est devenu le sujet de ses tableaux les plus connus. Aujourd’hui, l’oeuvre de Monet atteint des prix exhorbitants. Le Pont du chemin de fer à Argenteuil a été vendu à $37 millions, Les Meules (Haystacks) à $81,4 millions et “Le Bassin aux Nymphéas” (1919) à $90,4 millions. Monet a expliqué son art en disant: “Les gens discutent de mon art et prétendent savoir de quoi il s’agit comme s’il était nécessaire de comprendre quand il suffit simplement d’aimer.” Helen et Aileen Bordman aiment Monet et elles font leur part pour rendre hommage, préserver et partager son héritage avec le monde entier.
