We just received this painting of Ingeborg from Kathleen's step-sister. Although this painting is not signed, we think it was painted by Louise Crow (1891-1968). We already have a portrait of Ingeborg, Kathleen's step-mother, that was painted by Louise Crow.

Louise Crow lived in Seattle before opening a studio in Santa Fe in 1918. As a young woman Ingeborg lived with her parents in Seattle. Later, Ingeborg acted in Broadway plays including The Drum Begins, a 1933 production by George Abbott and Philip Dunning and as Titania in Max Reinhardt's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Ingeborg also preformed in the 1938 Lux Radio Theater production The Green Light. She was later the co-owner of the Hollywood photography studio, Green and Tillisch Company.

During the1950's Ingeborg was head of public relations for Neiman Marcus in Texas. She was responsible for creating the corporate butterfly logo, still in use today, from Alexander Calder's Mariposa mobile that was commissioned for a new Neiman Marcus store in Dallas.

Her life journey continued into other creative pursuits...
