Department of familiarity

The current issue of Canadian Art (Fall, 2006) is a full-bleed reproduction of a painting by painter Karin Davie and it's quite handsome and eye-catching.

However, it seemed familiar to one of our correspondents, who referred us to the Fall 2005 issue of The Link, the magazine of Bishop Strachan School in Toronto.

The Link is published 3 times annually and goes to the students, family and friends of the tony girls' school, (sometimes thought of as the female counterpart of Upper Canada College.) Davie is an alumna of BSS (1983).

(By the way, The Link is edited by Sharon Salson Gregg, formerly the publisher of the late art magazine Lola, and is art directed by Stephen Gregory, the former art director of This Magazine.)
