Inspired by childhood memories of her grandmother’s
Pittsburgh home, Katherine Kadish, AM’66, created
House & Garden, a 60 x 72-inch diptych painted with oil
on canvas. Part of a private collection in Ohio, the painting
reflects the current state of the home, “which looks like
a large, derelict doll’s house,” says Kadish, and its accompanying
English garden. Kadish’s work has appeared at
the Philadelphia Museum of Art and New York’s Whitney
Museum of American Art.
