Amy
Lindenberger is our newest neighbor. Her
shop, Civil War Fine Art, opened last summer just a few doors down from the
Schriver House at 333 Baltimore Street. For the last seven years Amy has created a
dynamic body of work based on her curiosity of the American Civil War and its
impact on the people who experienced it. She has become well known for
this series and for the compassion in which she illustrates her subjects.
Each of Amy’s paintings is a visual narrative based on historical facts
found in books, personal diaries, letters, and memoirs—and, when possible,
on-site visits. Her research includes discussions with historians,
librarians and park rangers to check the accuracy of her perceptions.
Her passion for the civilian side of the Civil War is a perfect match to the vision of the Shriver House - understanding that the Battle of Gettysburg is more than a story of Generals, soldiers, and strategies. It’s also the story of people. Amy is planning several works based on the Shriver family and will be displaying some sketches at the Shriver House Museum Shop. Her work really brings the family to life.
This past holiday season, Amy Lindenberger appeared at the museum to introduce her first in a series of limited edition prints "Christmas at the Shriver House".
