Larry Holmes honored with portrait at St. Luke’s Easton Campus

St. Luke’s University Health Network on Wednesday (2/27/25), held a dedication for a new portrait of Larry Holmes at the St. Luke’s Easton Campus.

Lehigh Valley-based artist Andrew Kish III, whose works are in galleries worldwide, created a watercolor portrait of Holmes with a fierce stare in a true boxer’s pose, gloved left hand slightly lowered.

Holmes, the Easton native considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, turned 75 last November. He was honored by St. Luke’s for his work highlighting the health network, including his work with sports performance and his treatment for diabetes.
