CHESAPEAKE TRIBES MURAL

John White was governor of Roanoke Colony, and grandfather to Virginia Dare, the first recorded English child born in a North American colony. White was a naturalist and gifted painter who recorded the New World around him in a primitive but exacting style. Much of his work still exists and is an amazing record of the coastline of the Americas in the 1580’s.

 

White sailed for England in 1587 for supplies for the colony and was caught up in the attempted invasion of England by Spain.

 

It took him 3 years to return to the Carolina coast. When he finally landed at the colony he found the Roanoke settlement abandoned and the 100 or so settlers - including his daughter and granddaughter - had vanished. No trace of the settlers was ever found beyond the word Croatoan carved in a tree.

 

We are currently working on a 4’ x 12’ mural featuring White’s imagery of the indigenous peoples and flora and fauna of the mid Atlantic seaboard along with the names of many of the tribes that lived along the Chesapeake in the 16th century

KENT NARROWS SHANTYTOWN MURAL

We are creating a large map as the first stage of the Kent Narrows Shantytown Mural project. We will use plywood to build a portable 4’ x 8’ chart / map of the Queen Anne’s County shoreline of the Narrows and take the panels to events in the QAC community where participants can help us label all the streets, county roads, landings, wharves, basins, packing houses, stores, dance clubs and dwellings that once existed scattered from Little Creek on the south to the northern tip of Kent Narrows Point.

This map will then be used as a reference for a community created 6’ x 32’ mural to be installed at the Narrows.

​

This is a community project, and an important piece of our local history. We are planning to paint this mural with the families who once lived in the shantytown.
