I am distantly related to the Von Trapp family and it was kind of Maria Von Trapp to inform me many years ago in several personal short notes about the importance of Robert Whitehead her Great Grandfather when I was exhibiting at the Galerie West End in Montréal. Maria Von Trapp was interested to learn that we are all directly related to the famous Irish novelist and playwright Kate O’Brien and I particularly love Kate’s book That Lady (1946) which in 1949 became a Broadway show and in 1955 became an artistically acclaimed movie that was distributed by 20th Century Fox.

I live to create and paint!
Artistically yours,
Liam Murphy
