Guestbook

  1. I have a beautiful painting which was left with my grandparents things which is signed Mary Roberto Ball and I would love to speak to anyone in the family who may be interested in it. My grandmother was an artist and knew many other artists, so I suspect that they may have been friends. My grandparents were close friends with the Ball family in Chester County PA who founded and still operate the Ball & Ball Brass Company. Perhaps there is a connection? I can be reached by phone at 484 983 7367 and would be pleased to get this painting back to family if there is interest.
