Kathryn Evelyn (Bard) Cherry, a woman who defied the limitations of her time, left an indelible mark on the art world. Her career as an artist was nothing short of prolific, marked by numerous gold medals, global exhibitions, and membership in various national art groups.

She won a gold medal for female art at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 and became one of the most prominent American Impressionists of the 20th Century.

From 1909 to 1914, Kathryn Cherry taught ceramic painting courses via correspondence at the Art Academy of the American Woman's League in University City, Missouri.

Correspondence courses instructed students across the country via letter writing, which was invaluable at a time when most women couldn't afford or weren't allowed, to go to college.

These restrictions led to the increased popularity of porcelain painting among women because it could be done on a small scale in the home and allowed many women to make some money from their crafts.

As a member of the Women's League faculty, Kathryn Cherry played a significant role in shaping the institution. The faculty was deeply influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, a socially progressive force that gave women a greater sense of personal liberty. It provided them with access to higher education and a platform to profit from their labor.

Along with paving the way for many women to earn extra income, Kathryn Cherry received over 28 awards throughout her prolific career and participated in almost 100 exhibitions. Her work is still on display in many locations, including this beautiful painting at the St. Louis Art Museum.
