Amy V. Shawver, who has recently relocated to Petersburgh, has installed an exhibit in the Library display case. Amy has spent most of her life in various locations overseas. She and her husband Dr. David J. Shawver have worked in international school settings in Asia and Africa. David is currently the director of the American International School Tanzania in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. The Shawvers have lived in five international school settings, including in Myanmar for seven years and in China for nine. The Shawvers have traveled extensively in the regions of the various school assignments and the artifacts on display at the Library represent the cultures and memories of their lives overseas.
Beginning in October, Amy V. Shawver’s photographs will be on display at the Library. Some are hand painted and some are black and white and all are developed by the photographer. They include scenes both from living in the U.S. and abroad.
For the remainder of September the art work of Mr. Willy Siller of Berlin, will continue to be on display at the Library. Siller has been a resident of Berlin since April, 1958, and he took up art full time after his retirement in 1986. This is his second exhibit at the Petersburgh Library.
