Wiley Purkey – The Artist as History A Retrospective Exhibition - Painting Ellicott City - 1969-2013
May 24, 25, 2013, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
8328 Court Ave, Ellicott City, MD 410-404-7318
FREE
| http://www.wileypurkey.com | wiley@wileypurkey.com |
Wiley Purkey has been recording the changes in the Ellicott City Historic District from 1969 to the present, through his numerous drawings and paintings. The images in this show are chosen from those 44 years of drawings, watercolors, oil paintings and prints.
Wiley’s work is familiar, yet he remains unknown to us apart from the images. He may well be, “The most well-known artist in the area that no-one has ever heard of.” This show is an attempt to re-introduce Wiley’s work to all of us who visit and appreciate the beauty of Historic Ellicott City.
The sum total of Wiley’s life is made up of bits and pieces of old Ellicott City. His art, his life's work, has been drawing and painting the Historic District in precise detail, much of it from cherished memories of the recent past, like racing handmade go-carts down Mulligan’s Hill, walking to school, sliding down granite boulders, and following Indian trails along the river to escaping the wrath of Tropical Storm Agnes in 1972.
It's an Ellicott City of streetcar rails going down Main St., of Art Shows on Main St. In Spring and Fall, of Taylor's, Sach's, and Rosenstock's department stores, Patapsco Pharmacy, the Ellicott Theatre, Bob's Five and Dime, Olin's Art Shop, and Eddie's Luncheonette.
Wiley's life, from his birth, at home on Fel's Ave. in a forgotten Ellicott City, to his full life of today, parallels the history of Ellicott City and its own journey from the fog of poverty to one of the best places to live in the country. He and Ellicott City and their journey together are inseparable, and it shows in his life’s work, his art.

We Invite You to Worship with Friends!
The heart of the Quaker way is the silent meeting for worship. We seek a shared experience of the presence of God, by whatever name we know God. Some say Spirit, some say Light, and some say Christ. In this Divine Presence, we find both peace of mind and challenging insights.
We come together in worship
- to listen to God;
- to know and be known by God;
- to grow in our faith;
- to be changed;
- to support each other; and
- to help one another do what God asks us to do.
In worship, we
- sit quietly together;
- listen if someone is moved by the Spirit to speak;
- allow each message to settle by keeping silence between messages;
- include children for about 15 minutes before their program begins;
- shake hands when worship ends and greet those around us.
You are welcome to join us as you are. Dress as you feel comfortable.
We believe that every person is loved by the Divine Spirit. There are Quakers of all ages, religious backgrounds, races, education, sexual orientations, gender identities, and classes.

A Cozy and Inviting Victorian Refuge
Ellicott City MD.—Nested among the quaint shops of Main Street in Historic Ellicott City is Tea on the Tiber, a Victorian Tea Room and Gift Shop. Visitors enjoy the quiet elegance and refinement of a grand English Tea parlor where, in days past, ladies and gentlemen would share the camaraderie of friends and traditional English fare.
Tea on the Tiber blends civility and culture with exotic and unusual teas from around the world and finishes the dining experience with tasty light fare presented on fine porcelain china. An extensive menu boasts of English manor scones complimented by clotted cream/ lemon curd or triple berry jam. Savory English tea sandwiches, which include Tea on the Tiber’s very own tasty tomato, are also served with fresh fruit and cheese. The dining experience is completed with two delicious sweets and a traditional shortbread cookie.
A total of four individual dining areas in all, each room is warm, intimate and inviting and features Victorian period décor. The Grand Parlor, The Sunroom, Squire's Office, The Library and weather permitting, a deck overlooking the Tiber River celebrate an era of refinement and elegance.
Under new ownership, Linda Jones remarks, “ This is such a wonderful venue for small intimate gatherings—perfect for a bridal or baby shower, birthday party or special event…a completely different place to brings friends together. Memorable times need to be savored. Tea on the Tiber is an escape from the rush of our hectic lives.”
Tea on the Tiber, 8081 Main Street in historic Ellicott City, opens for afternoon tea, Thursday thru Sunday, seatings are at 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. For further information or to make reservations we invite you to call us at 410-480-8000.
