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.

Kathryn E. Cherry

Kathryn E. Cherry, an American painter and art educator, is best known for her impressionistic landscapes and floral studies. Born in 1871 in Quincy, Illinois, Cherry's pursuit of artistic training at several prominent institutions, including the St. Louis School of Fine Arts and the Art Students League of New York, led her to study abroad in Paris, where she was influenced by the French Impressionists. Her exposure to various artistic movements and her disciplined education contributed to the development of her refined, light-filled style, a testament to her captivating artistry.
Cherry became an influential figure in the Midwest art scene, particularly in St. Louis, Missouri, where she taught at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. She was a founding member of the St. Louis Artists' Guild and exhibited frequently in regional and national exhibitions. Her work often featured serene outdoor scenes rendered with delicate brushwork and an intuitive grasp of color and light. Cherry's landscapes and still lifes conveyed a sense of tranquility and were admired for their balance between realism and impressionistic sensibility.
Throughout her career, Kathryn E. Cherry maintained a strong commitment to both creating and teaching art. Her dedication to nurturing young artists and her active participation in the cultural life of her community left a lasting legacy. Her contributions to American Impressionism and her significant role in shaping the Midwest's artistic identity, though not as widely recognized today, are worthy of our appreciation. She passed away in 1931, leaving behind a body of work that continues to be admired for its elegance and gentle beauty.
