Another Wonderful Life - First Edition - The New Pittsburgh Exposition Podcast

Welcome to the very first edition of The New Pittsburgh Exposition! Everyone knows the famous, award winning, movie star, Jimmy Stewart. Did you know his sister was an accomplished artist? This month we explore the art and life of Mary Stewart Perry. For the first time, a comprehensive selection of her work is on display and it's right in Indiana, PA, at The Jimmy Stewart Museum. We talk to her son David Perry, and Janie McKirgan, executive director of The Jimmy Stewart Museum.

Below are a few newspaper articles written on Mary, some depicting her work, a copy of her prize winning piece hanging at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and one of the informational panels on display talking about her work with Charm Magazine. Also, a picture of a really cool Jimmy Stewart quote.
