Baltimore's Best 2016

Anna's "Pride of Baltimore Sailing by Domino" window screen painting was featured in Baltimore Magazine's August 2016  "Best of Baltimore" issue.  


Screen art reminiscent of the old painted window screens. 



Witness the magic of a disappearing painted screen.

Windows to Your Heart Necklaces,

the world's smallest painted screens,

and See-thru screen art

change in the light like old fashioned painted window screens disappear from the inside looking out.

Now you see it, now you don't. 

The painting appears to vanish, but at least it's not shredded to pieces like the $1.4 million Banksy Prank

"You see out; No one see in."

Maryland Traditions: 

Maryland’s state folklife program

Maryland State Government

I am pleased to announce that Master painter Anna Pasqualucci and a very talented Apprentice Lisa Penn have teamed up to pass along the folk art of screen painting. We have been honored to have received a Maryland Traditions Apprenticeship Award for 2017-2018 The purpose of the award is to support up to one year of study in folklife, or living cultural traditions. "During the study period, a master folklife practitioner passes down her or his knowledge to an apprentice in an effort to support the vitality of folklife in Maryland."  

Visit Lisa on Facebook at Jaybird's Feather.

Maryland State Arts Council's 2017-2018 Maryland Traditions apprentice team Anna Pasqualucci and Lisa Penn presented the art of Baltimore screen painting at the National Folk Festival in Salisbury, Sept 8 and 9. 

Lisa Marie Penn unveiled her incredible Bay Bridge screen painting at the National Folk Festival. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to team up with Lisa for our Maryland Traditions Apprenticeship. 

Thank you MSAC, The Painted Screen Society, and thank you Lisa!

A little music, a little art, a little history for your Soul.




"Old Coach" 
is reminiscent of the first passenger railroad travel... 
on a stagecoach on the rails!   

The 2023 auction has ended. 
This piece was available to the highest bidder online
here


Local history is captured on a historic medium.... a painted screen.
A perfect fit for a narrow vertical wall. 


"Old Coach" is ready-to-hang screen art by Anna Pasqualucci that captures some of Baltimore's unique history. "Replicas of Baltimore & Ohio's original passenger carriage coaches, "Ohio" and "Maryland," built for the 'Fair Of The Iron Horse' (1927) are on display at the B&O Railroad Museum during the spring of 1973. The cars remain here today. The original six were built by Richard Imlay in 1830 for the B&O's inaugural passenger service from Baltimore to Ellicott Mills. Imlay based his design from turnpike stagecoaches of that era."



 
"His Master's Voice" was music to Nipper's ears!   
(2022 auctioned piece)

 
Like painted window screens,
the RCA Nipper statue of a loyal and trusted companion dog
that sat atop the "RCA building" on Russell Street and never left his master's side
was an unforgettable sight to see in mid-century Baltimore.

Nipper greeted motorists as they entered south Baltimore from the BWParkway
and drove past .

Screen painting exhibit, sales, classes and demonstrations  

 Two of Baltimore’s proudest traditions – screen painting and railroading – come together for two weeks at the B&O Railroad Museum! See painted screen works by artists from the Painted Screen Society of Baltimore on-display each day in the Museum’s Roundhouse, and on select dates, enjoy screen painting demonstrations with artist Michael Siepp! And, if you’re feeling inspired to try your hand at screen painting, we’re holding Sip & Screen Paint Classes for adults, as well as Screen Painting classes for the kids! See schedule and purchase your tickets for Sip & Screen Paint and Kids' Screen Painting Workshops below.

The iconic painted rowhouse screens of Baltimore date back to 1913, when Czech grocer William Oktavec introduced his “red bungalow” scene. Since then, the practice of painting rowhouse screen doors has become a symbol of Baltimore’s rich cultural and historical heritage.
