This week we are featuring a participating artist from the Art of the River Towns Juried Show.
Art of the River Towns, presented by River Towns Magazine, was held Oct. 1 to 4, at Prallsville Mills in Stockton, N.J.
Jacalyn Beam of Greenville, Del., was born in Chester County. “Her early training in art was rooted in the history and beauty of the Brandywine Valley,” she said in her artist statement.
“She holds a B.S. in Music, M.Ed. and Ed.D. and has always held a passion for painting,” she said in her artist statement. “The Wyeths, Sorolla, Sargent, Sotter, Schofield and Thayer are a few of her favorite artists.”
Beam is a member of the American Impressionist Society (AIS), Oil Painters of America (OPA), Washington Society of Landscape Painters (WSLP) and the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association (MAPAPA). She served on the board of directors of MAPAPA and the Chaddsford Historical Society for eight years.
She participates in juried shows across the country and garners awards.
Beam is included in the book, “100 Mid Atlantic Plein Air Painters,” published by Shiffer. She is also featured in “Brandywine Reflections” as an artist helping to preserve the local color and history on canvas. She was interviewed and photographed by The Hunt Magazine in 2019. She was featured on Virginia news stations while painting in Bath County at the “Pools,” known for their famous visitors and historical significance.
