Provenance |
Purchased from the Hoosier Salon in 1966. "SALUTE TO I.A.L.F." first silkscreen print in the Tri Kappa Art Collection ... dedicated to the Indianapolis Art League Foundation, hence its title … the silkscreen process is based on the concept of the stencil … parts of a piece of silk stretched across a frame are blocked out by glue, paper, or film, and paint is then pushed through the open parts of the silk to make a design ... a very simple process and much used in commercial art … in the case of the present work, many, many layers of paint are applied bit by bit to achieve the fnished product … Lived in and around Chicago as a child and received her early training there until she Joined the Sisters of Providence, St. Mary-of-the-Woods, Terre Haute …taught English and art at St. Agnes Academy (which later merged with Ladywood and became co- educational Cathedral High School) for nine years while working toward her Master of Fine Arts degree … two of her silkscreen prints were chosen to appear in the 1965 Hoosier Salon. |
