The Chadds Ford Art Sale & Show welcomes two special guests, authors Barbara Walsh and
Catherine Quillman, at its 63rd Annual Show on March 23-24, 2012. Both authors will lead a discussion and offer a
book sale and signing on Saturday, March 24th.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Barbara Walsh recently released her first children’s book, Sammy
in the Sky, illustrated by painter Jamie Wyeth. The book was inspired by the loss of the author’s family pet dog,
Sam. Jamie Wyeth, an alumnus of Chadds Ford Elementary School, will pre-sign a limited number of books, which will
be available for purchase and co-signing by Walsh at the show.
Catherine Quillman, former arts journalist with the Philadelphia Inquirer, is author of 100 Artists
of the Brandywine Valley, a comprehensive guide to the artistic history of the Brandywine region. Quillman will
present an informal, illustrated discussion titled the Artistic History of the Brandywine Tradition, including what
every art enthusiast should know about its history and relevance today. The illustrated program will cover a range
of artwork including that of 19th century photographers, Howard Pyle’s students and Chadds Ford painters.
The popular Chadds Ford Art Sale & Show features works by over 70 local and regional
professional artists from the Brandywine Valley and beyond. This year’s “Featured Artist” is Paul Scarborough and
the “Donating Artist” is Stephen Brehm. A complete list of participating artists and artwork samples are available
on the Website.
