“Art from the Soldier” is a series of ten portraits of veterans who are also practicing artists. This series of paintings is the foundation of Pamela Wilde’s first curated group exhibition. This show shall also feature, the art work of these fine patriots.
Pamela Wilde is best known for, “Portraits from Havre De Grace” 2019. She created over 120 portraits in innumerable live sessions, over the course of a year. This huge presentation was later exhibited at the Artist Emporium, Havre De Grace, Maryland, the World Trade Center, Baltimore, Maryland and the Maryland Hall, Annapolis, Maryland.
The current collection of ten portraits were created during open studio sessions. Pamela hosted these at Gallery 220 (formerly Artist Emporium), in support of the Havre De Grace Arts Collective. Pamela used a “Creativity Grant” from the Maryland State Arts Council, in order to share her love of portrait painting.
Intending to shine a light on the artistic talents, of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces, Pamela reached out to her local community, to engage veterans that also practiced art, and hired them to model for these sessions.
Pamela is proud to bring together these artistic veterans, and to share their talents in these group exhibitions.
Each veteran will be sharing their unique talents, alongside these portraits. Their talents include the performance arts, two and three dimensional works (2D/3D). We will explore how their military service has influenced their art.
Pamela has a life long passion for portraiture. She enjoys using her talents to engage with her community. She currently serves on the board of the Maryland Society of Portrait Painters. Pamela holds memberships with Harford Artist Association, the Mid- Atlantic Plein Air Association and the Portrait Society of America.

Bel Air Library
100 East Pennsylvania Avenue
Bel Air, Maryland 21014
Harford County Public Library welcomes author F. Kennerly Clay, who will be reading from her memoir, “Letters from East of Nowhere – Daddy’s Words to Live, Drink & Die By,” on October 26 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Bel Air Library, 100 East Pennsylvania Avenue. The book is about the consequences of a life free of commitments against a backdrop of wandering, music and overindulgence. It was the free-spirited lifestyle romanticized in Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel “On the Road” that beckoned to Clay’s father, which also led him to a lifetime of failed relationships, mishaps with the law and a never-ending struggle with alcoholism. In the writing of “Letters from East of Nowhere,” Clay has found her own voice, delivering an honest reflection on life, on the passionate craziness of the Sixties and on learning to love a man who would always choose alcohol over everything else. She is the co-author of “The Buzz on Travel” and “Calling of Ancestors: Finding Forgotten Secrets in My DNA.” Clay resides with her husband and two sons outside Philadelphia. Copies of the book will be available to purchase at the program. For more information, visit https://programs.hcplonline.org/event/11250645.

The Hays-Heighe House at Harford Community College

Bel Air, MD 21015
Presentation by Dr. Andrew Kellett, Associate Professor of History, Harford Community College
When the loser of the 2020 election termed it “stolen,” it was just the most recent presidential election with a controversial outcome. Five times in our history (including 2016), the eventual winner in the Electoral College had failed to capture a majority of the popular vote. Already by the election of 1800—only the second contested election in American history, since George Washington ran unopposed—controversy surrounded the results.
