The Americana Collection features a comprehensive
group of folk artists, depicting the life and times
of early Americans. We have portraits of George
Washington, Abe Lincoln and a painting of Rev.
Walker Skating, all of which have been perennial
favorites in past collections. We offer pieces to
decorate the kitchen and dining room, including
a stunning collection of great American farm
landscapes. Some of the images include covered
bridges and rural landscapes that are iconic imagery
of a rural lifestyle.
The frames in our collection are chosen to compliment
the art and present a feel as if they were being sold in
an antique shop. All pieces are mounted on a hard
backing and enhanced with glazing that creates a
texture that looks like a canvas. All of our Americana
Collection is printed, manufactured and assembled
in our Vermont factory and is ready to hang and put
the finishing touches on any well-designed room.

Cheryl Bartley
Cheryl Bartley, an American Folk Art painter, showed artistic talent from an early age when she produced her first works of art. Raised
by a French speaking family, she relied on a paintbrush and a box of paint to express herself to her English speaking friends.
Cheryl holds a B.A. in Psychology with a portfolio in fine art. Her early love of artistic expression resulted in a career spanning over
25 years as a graphic artist in the wallpaper and textile business.
Cheryl now expresses her imagination and creativity from her “Folk Art Spirit” studio where she creates works inspired by her fascination
with telling stories through painting. Utilizing mixtures of vibrant colors, Cheryl creates detailed scenes of simpler times from her
imagination and memories of actual places that are warm and inviting. Her preferred medium is acrylic on canvas or wood, and watercolor
on paper. Her works are found in private collections and businesses worldwide.

Diane Ulmer Pedersen
Diane Ulmer Pedersen is an American Folk
Artist. Before entering grade school, Diane took
art lessons at the Philadelphia Art Museum. It is
here that she discovered her passion for art that
would lead her to receive a B.F.A. from Denison
University. Her interest in art and history led her
to work at an antique and decorating shop, where
she began painting naïve portraits of children. As
she researched source material for these portraits,
she discovered other folk art subjects that piqued
her interest: landscapes, still lifes, theorem paintings,
stenciling and faux graining, and needlework. She
soon became fascinated with the stylizations, colors,
textures, and the crackled and aged finishes. The
feeling of peace, light-heartedness, and friendly
openness she found in these works resonated
with her.
Incorporating subjects, forms, and techniques from
18th and 19th century folk art, Diane gradually
developed a personal style to apply to not only
portraits, but landscapes and still lifes as well.

Janet Munro
Massachusetts-born artist Janet Munro describes her
canvases as "pictorial-history" paintings with visual
messages for the viewer to read like pages in a book.
Her paintings focus on the lives of everyday people
in waterfront locations in the Northeastern United
States. Whether she is depicting a bustling street
scene or a quiet bayside, Munro is always striving for
realism as she carefully fashions each canvas to tell
a story of American life. In her 35 years of painting,
Janet’s works have been included in many notable
private and museum collections.

Albert Bierstadt
Childe Hassam
Albert Bierstadt was born in Solingen, Germany, and
moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts when he was
a young child. After studying art in Germany, Bierstadt
began painting in New England and upstate New York.
In 1859, he traveled westward in the company of a land
surveyor for the U.S. government, returning with sketches
that would result in numerous finished paintings. He
continued to visit the American West throughout his
career, inspired by the majestic landscapes he found there.
He chose to use uncommonly large canvases for his grand
sweeping landscapes, emphasizing the atmospheric elements
such as light, fog, clouds and mist to add to the dramatic
mood of his works. He often enhanced details to inspire
awe: colors would be more intense, vegetation more lush
and verdant. Bierstadt’s images have remained popular
long after his death in 1902. He was a very prolific artist
completing over 500 paintings over the course of his life.

Zhen-Huan Lu
Zhen-Huan Lu is an American artist of Chinese
descent. After receiving a degree from the
Department of Stage Design, Shanghai Theatre
Academy (famous for its western-style landscape
painting training program), he was appointed to
teach painting and stage design there. In 1986, he
relocated to the United States after receiving an
invitation to give his first solo exhibition in New
York.
Zhen-Huan Lu’s disciplined background in life study,
western painting techniques and both western and
eastern aesthetics, led to his development of a unique
American style of poetic realism that aims to make
visible the invisibles through his skillful portrayal of
familiar scenes and objects. His training also led him
to develop equal skill in watercolor, egg tempera, and
oil painting.
Although people are never depicted in his landscape
paintings, Lu’s keen interest remains in human life
and emotions. Whether it be rocking chairs on the
porch on a lazy afternoon or a pair of oars against an
aged beach house, the human spirit is always present.
Through his masterful technique, Zhen-Huan Lu
captures a world beyond the obvious with close-ups
and exquisite details.

Peter Sculthorpe
Peter Sculthorpe’s paintings capture the
rural landscape and stone architecture of
the Brandywine Valley in Chester County,
Pennsylvania. Sculthorpe’s paintings are
instantly recognizable for their beautiful
stone barns, dusky skies and single figures on
horseback. Using watercolor, he manipulates
light and form that gives his paintings a
dramatic, natural feeling. As inspiration,
the artist explores a variety of other media
including etching, monotype and stone
lithography, and incorporates these elements
into his work.
Sculthorpe has been the recipient of
numerous awards and honors, including the
American Artist Professional League Award,
Philadelphia Sketch Club silver medal and
first prize in oil painting from the National
Arts League, New York. His work is included
in the public collections of the Springfield
Art Museum in Missouri, the Delaware Art
Museum, The Brandywine River Museum in
Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and the DuPont
Company in Japan.

Ray Hendershot
The Pennsylvania countryside and its inhabitants
provide the subject matter for watercolor artist
Ray Hendershot. Ray is highly regarded for his
detailed rural landscapes and antique still lifes, and
how he captures the surface textures of the aging
farm buildings, the rustic old mills or the antiqued
crocks and jugs that he paints. Over the years, Ray
has developed a number of texturing methods to
accurately depict these signs of aging.
Ray is represented by several galleries in southeastern
Pennsylvania, and his work has appeared in many
books and magazines. He is an elected signature
member of the American Watercolor Society, The
National Watercolor Society, The Pennsylvania
Watercolor Society (also awarded Sylvan Grouse
Guild member status of the society), The
Philadelphia Watercolor Society (recipient of the
Crest Award for continued excellence), and the
International Society of Acrylic Painters. He has
been the recipient of many awards for his work in
national and international exhibitions and has had
numerous one-man shows.
