T Malden resident celebrates 102 years young! Special to The Advocate M ayor Gary Christenson recently visited Atria Maplewood Place to wish resident Beatrice DeLeo a very happy 102nd Birthday! Although she lived in Medford most of her life, Beatrice now calls Malden home. She is well known for her devotion to her family, which includes her three children, Francis, Michael and Candace, as well as her two grandchildren. In addition to spending time with family and her cat Taupie, she loves gardening, shopping trips to Marshalls and listening to Frank Sinatra music. When Mayor Christenson asked Beatrice what her secret is for such a long and happy life, her advice was to “always be who you are.” Beatrice DeLeo and Mayor Gary Christenson (Courtesy photo) Local artist showcased in February at the Library he Malden Public Library will be showcasing local artist Stephanie Stigliano throughout the month of February. Stephanie has experience with many mediums but currently enjoys making prints and artist books. Stephanie says, “Making prints gives me the chance to make different versions of one idea: I can play with the color combinations or change the process. It is fun to experiment with both of those aspects. Lately I make monoprints and combine them with relief prints, brush painting, and collage (Chine-collè). Making artist’s books gives me alternative ways of presenting the prints as an unfolding story. The structure reflects the content of the piece. I was originally trained as a jeweler and I use similar skills when I create books and prints. My inspiration comes from time spent in nature and everyday observations. Teaching students how to make books and prints is www.810bargrille.com Local artist Stephanie Stigliano also an energizing activity—it is a delight to help people discover their inner artist.” An artist reception will be held on Monday, February 3, from 6-7 p.m.; everyone is welcome to attend and light refreshments will be served.
