An artist’s proof giclée on paper titled Brinton Train Station by Turtle Creek folk artist Kathleen Ferri (Pittsburgh, 20th/21st-century). This work features a vibrant folk art scene scene of trains with industrial cars running alongside the inflamed Edgar Thomson steel mill located in Pittsburgh. The work is signed by hand in graphite and in plate to the lower right. It is titled in graphite to the lower center margin and marked ‘A.P.’ to the lower left. The print is not matted and remains unframed.

Kathleen Ferri didn’t start painting until later in life, around age 58. She is particularly known for her lively folk art scenes often depicting local neighborhoods and landmarks of Pittsburgh, the Monongahela, and Turtle Creek valleys. While her interpretations may not be completely factual, she explains that her works are nostalgic expressions of her memories of the 1930s and ’40s. Many of her works have been sold as prints as she is hesitant to sell her original paintings.
