About Edith Vonnegut

Born 1949. Edith Vonnegut is an American artist.

Edith "Edie" Vonnegut (born December 29, 1949) is an American painter.

Her work—most of which juxtaposes heavenly beings and mundane activities—has been showcased at galleries across the United States, and is featured in the book Domestic Goddesses, along with her humorous commentary.

Life and career Born December 29, 1949 in Schenectady, New York, Vonnegut is the daughter of novelist Kurt Vonnegut and his first wife, Jane Marie (Cox), and the sister of Mark Vonnegut and Nanette Vonnegut. Her paternal grandmother is Edith Lieber Vonnegut. Since 1985, she has been married to John Squibb; Vonnegut studied transcendental meditation with her mother, Jane, in 1967.

She edited a collection of her father's love letters to her mother that he wrote during his service during World War II in a book Love, Kurt: The Vonnegut Love Letters, 1941–1945. Some letters were typed, while others were handwritten and illustrated. They foreshadowed the person Kurt Vonnegut would become and reveal that Jane's advice and counsel were instrumental in shaping the writer he became.
