programs and projects at Unionville High School.
The 38th UHS Art Gala is proud to announce this years Feature
Artist is Jeff Schaller. http://www.jeffschaller.com
Quoted from his website, “Jeff Schaller paints in the unique medium of encaustic, creating textural art pieces which incorporate representational form with the printed word. In essence, the visual and written symbols merge to create a unique aesthetic language that is both provocative and whimsical. His multiple-image pieces, with images ranging from polka dots to popular culture, evoke emotions and memories in the viewer. The combination of images tells a story and provokes a personal exchange between the audience. Using lost and found images, words and language, Jeff’s goals are to paint with a precision and intricacy not normally found in encaustic paintings. His approach is with a vision towards expressionistic and contemporary. Instantaneously setting powerful brush strokes that evoke an emotional connection of the viewer to the past and reflect on their sensibility in the present as a result of their memory. Jeff reflects on culture, past and present, as an arbiter of interpretation...”I want to provoke an emotional response from the viewer.”
On Saturday, November 9th, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., Jeff Schaller will share a brief summarization of his work process and that of his workshop, Pink Cow Studios at the event in the LGI at UHS. There is no charge for this and we encourage all artists, students, followers of Jeff Schaller and those interested in the visual arts to attend!
This years UHS Art Gala Chair Person is Lynda Nadin and the High School Arts Program coordinator is Geri Argo. Please contact Katee Boyle-Mojica at [email protected] for details about the event

Mr. Mather transformed the Painter Farm into a "hunting box” known as the Brandywine Meadows Farm and the site of the Brandywine Hounds (aka the Mather Hunt). The transformation included the conversion of a barn into a state of the art equestrian facility (the current Clubhouse), and the construction of kennels including the Kennelman’s House, the Huntsman's House and the formal gardens. The Brandywine Hounds continued after the sale of the estate in 1963 and disbanded in 2004 after providing the wonderful sport of fox chasing to generations of families for over 100 years.

PARKESBURG _ Chester County author Bruce Mowday is giving a talk on his new book Pickett’s Charge: The Untold Story on Thursday, November 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Stottsville Inn.
The program is being sponsored by the Parkesburg Historical Group. The Stottsville Inn is located at 3512 Strasburg Road, just east of Parkesburg. Those attending can enjoy dinner or drinks before or after the talk.
“This is the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Address and a perfect time to talk about two of the most significant events in the history of our nation,” said Mowday. “I’ve given talks at the Stottsville Inn and it is a great place to spend the evening talking about history and enjoying their fine food and drink.” Mowday will be available to talk to those at the talk both before and after the presentation.
Pickett’s Charge: The Untold Story was published in June by Barricade Books of Fort Lee, N. J. Mowday spent four years researching and writing the book. The book cost $20 and autographed copies will be available at Sottsville Inn. The book concentrates on the Union defense of the Confederate assault.
“We were honored to be able to include photographs from the J. Howard Wert Gettysburg Collection™,” Mowday said. “Some of the images in the book haven’t been viewed since the battle.”
Mowday has authored 15 books, including Jailing The Johnston Gang: Bringing Serial Murderers To Justice, Life With Flavor, the story of Jim Herr and Herr Foods, and September 11, 1777: Washington’s Defeat at Brandywine Dooms Philadelphia. For information on all of Mowday’s books see www.mowday.com.
