Katherine Doyle Museum : Persephone : Em at Twelve

Em at Twelve

Katherine Doyle

This young girl became a subject for me after we met at an artists’ gathering. Over the past two years I have worked with her several times, and became a friend of the family. In March this year, she entered a true Underworld: she was killed by a young man attempting to kill himself. He aimed for a lamp-post, hit her instead. I will be painting her, I know for years to come, as a celebration of her wonderful bright loving character.

Visitor comments regarding this page (huh?)

Visitor comments are presented "as is" and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or the values of the museum.

If you register and login you can post comments. (huh?)

One of the perks of membership is that you get to post comments on objects, museums, and other member's walls. (Though some users have chosen to restrict access to their personal walls - in which case you'll have to friend them before you can post to their wall.)

Anybody can register - though you do have to be at least thirteen or older and have a working email address.

It doesn't cost anything to register. Just sign up and you'll be an insider in no time flat.

How sad. Must change the way you see every image of her you have done.
