Maryland Traditions:
Maryland’s state folklife program
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."

"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."

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.
