The Art of Eleanor Walsh Perrine
This
exhibition displays the artwork of a long-time Mount Lebanon resident, Eleanor
Walsh Perrine (1931 to 2009). She was a native of the South Hills, having
grown-up in Beechview. During her first marriage, she
raised three
children in Shaler Township, before returning to the
South Hills in 1978.
Having
developed an interest in art at an early age, she primarily painted landscapes,
and her favorite subject was waterfalls. She and her family traveled all over
the United States and Canada to visit different waterfalls, which she would
photograph (another of Eleanor’s hobbies) and paint from the photographs at
home.
This exhibition, at the Mount Lebanon Public Library, runs
throughout the month of June of 2014. You can learn more about Eleanor Walsh
Perrine, and see a few more of her paintings, at this Internet web site: <
