Letter to the editor from Sarah Abel-DeLuca

To the Editor:

In these hard economic times, it may seem counterintuitive to be generous; yet generosity, like honesty, is more than a virtue. It's also the best policy.

This year I've had ample opportunity to experience the immediate and tangible results of others' generosity, and it has inspired me to start living generously myself. To give just a few examples: community advocates Lyndi McNulty and Pam Zappardino contribute to virtually every good cause in Carroll County, so I said yes without hesitation to their recent requests to donate paintings for local charity auctions.

Local business owner Karen Pelton's charitable spirit has encouraged me to seek new outlets for my particular volunteering gift: supporting and mentoring fellow artists. The dedication and enthusiasm of Tim Rogers, Laurie Walters, a large group of excellent docents, and all the others who worked tirelessly on the recent Historic Westminster Holiday Home Tour paid my husband and me back a hundredfold for being hosts, as did the generosity of the tour participants.

Hundreds of people filed through all but one room of our 1870s Victorian house on a snowy, messy day -- yet our hardwood floors and carpets sustained absolutely no damage; none of our possessions was lost, stolen, hurt or disturbed in any way; and our house was left warmer and cozier by their visits, despite the chilly wind blowing in the front door. I should also mention local merchants such as Hickory Stick and The Flowerbox, who contributed decorations to houses on the tour.

The temptation, when times are tough, money is scarce, and fear is everywhere, is to pull in one's resources, stop giving to charities, and buy from the cheapest of big box stores rather than from local merchants or chains that have a commitment to their communities, the environment, or other good causes. I've given into this temptation many times myself. But thanks to the good example of citizens and businesses in our own community, I'm going to resist it this year. Pennypinching breeds scarcity. Generosity breeds abundance.

Pass it on.

Carroll County artist Melinda Byrd updates us on her latest work

Carroll County artist Melinda Byrd updates us on her latest work

Greetings, Friends, Family, Fans, and Fun Folk,

Jan 25, 2009

Melinda Byrd (from Byrdcall Studio) here with an update of good things happening that you might like to know about. I have two big exciting ventures to tell you about:

I have joined with 19 other area artists to form an Artist Co-operative with a gallery-storefront off Main Street in Westminster, MD. We are calling our space “Off Track Art.” We are located just off the railroad tracks (by a few feet) at 11 Liberty St. accessible from the parking lot across the street from both O’Lordans and Johansson’s, next to the library.

Image me and 19 other artists showing some of our best works in a small gallery. We will take turns staffing the shop and share rent to make it all affordable. I’m very excited. We will be opening on Friday, Feb. 13th--yes, Friday the 13th in the afternoon (not sure yet of exact time—ask me later). Off Track Art will be open everyday except Sunday from noon to 6 or 7:00 PM. You probably know my work…just imagine 19 other exciting and stimulating artists all in one gallery!

The other big hoot for me is the fact that I am having my very first SOLO EXHIBITION of my multifaceted arts at the Scott Gallery at Carroll Community College (1601 Washington Rd., Westminster, MD). The opening reception will be Sunday, Feb. 15th from 2-4:00 PM. You are invited, of course! See the attached post card document which also has the image of one of my newest linocuts, “Three Fireflies” and all the details of the exhibit which runs through March 27th. There will be many never-seen-before pieces of my work. Please stop by at some point between Feb 15 and March 27. Please forward this info to anyone you know who might be interested.

Thirdly, I can foresee a very busy spring 2009, so I have decided (sadly) not to teach classes in my studio for teens and pre-teens this year.

Fortunately, my friend and fellow artist, Sarah Abel Deluca is working on her spring schedule which may include classes for this age group. I have to say, Sarah is an exceptional artist and teacher. I am currently taking a class from her at the Carroll Arts Center. Her work is currently being featured at the Arts Center (in the gallery to the right). She is very experienced teaching high school students, and welcomes the pre-teens too. Perhaps at her studio, or perhaps at your child’s school.

Feel free to give her a call or email if you have teens or pre-teens interested in developing their artistic abilities: 410.751.9259 or info@abelartist.com. Check out her work at : Click here: SARAH ABEL DELUCA, artist

And finally, remember I am here for you. My favorite thing is to create art that you will cherish for you. Whether it is a hand-printed shirt or a painting of your beloved pet or landscape…just call or email me!

I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Peace and love,
Melinda
