View a short video (1:44) of artist Michael Kennedy, who discusses the fascinating roots of this exhibit and the potential to inspire others.

The exhibition traces that gift through the paintings and photographs of two of her grandchildren, Michael Kennedy and Anne Sherwood Pundyk and one of her great-children, Phoebe Pundyk. The artwork, videos and books on display share her life lessons with viewers, perhaps inspiring ideas about ways to embrace creativity in their own lives.
