Katherine Wirick to Exhibit at PIX 2014

Katherine Wirick specializes in 20th-century history, with a focus on war, trauma, and art. Her first major work was a wall-sized comic about the Kent State shooting through the eyes of her father; that piece is now in the permanent collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She’s currently working on Nervenkrank, a graphic novel about the life of John Heartfield. Also, she’s recently gotten into baseball, which has made her work marginally less depressing. She tumbles regularly at http://katherinewirick.tumblr.com and sells comics at http://katherinewirick.storenvy.com.

Pittsburgh! This Saturday!!
