“My name is Frances”
By Kathy H. Schumacher

On display in the Schwartzkopf Gallery until the end of June. In this series of artwork, Kathy has illustrated the experiences of her Grandmother. On October 25th, 1941, her Grandmother was committed to the Iowa Asylum for the Insane in Independence, Iowa. Kathy has examined the records of the 15 years her grandmother was in the asylum, and combined this history with family memories to create a series of drawings illustrating her Grandmother’s story.
