Notre Dame & Kathleen Keifer

The icons of the University of Notre Dame: the Golden Dome, the grotto, the stadium, and the gold helmets are equally as important to me as the beach icons I paint.

I am a triple legacy of Notre Dame. My grandfather, Frank O’Toole ’28, played football for Knute Rockne. My father, James O’Toole ’55, fought in the Bengal Bouts. My husband Jim Keifer and I, class of ‘85, met in an art class at Notre Dame, and were married in the log chapel.

I may be prejudiced, OK I am, but I think it’s the most beautiful college campus in the world. One of my favorite things to do is to fly in for a game- nothing like a crisp October game day to wake up the echoes and shake down the thunder!- and set up my easel in the God Quad, paint the Dome, and swap stories with other fans. Go Irish!
