In Our Community

Valliant & Associates, LLC is pleased to have provided support for the American Pictures Distinguished Lecture Series, a highly original approach to art and portraiture. This series paired great works of art with leading figures of contemporary American culture. Each lecture featured an eminent writer, critic, historian, or artist who unravels the meaning behind a single, powerful image. In the process, he or she explores how works of art reflect American identity or provide a window into our shared history. Most importantly, the series revealed how artworks inspire creative minds in many different fields. The series director is historian and essayist Adam Goodheart, who is director of the C.V. Starr Center of the Study of the American Experience at Washington College, in Chestertown, Maryland.

We look forward to supporting other Starr Center events this year.

Erasmus H. Kloman

Locally renowned author and artist, Erasmus H. Kloman, was gracious enough to present Valliant & Associates with a beautiful watercolor portrait of our office in Chestertown's Downtown Historic District.

Mr. Kloman's career as an artist began with his retirement from a Washington think-tank in 1985. Having received instruction from major art schools in the Washington region, he continues his studies at the Art League in Alexandria.

As an artist, Mr. Kloman’s work has been exhibited in numerous one-man and group shows. Mr. Kloman illustrates his books with landscapes in oil and watercolors as well as black and white sketches done in pen and ink and washes.

To view more of Erasmus Kloman's masterpieces visit his website which includes information about his literary works as well as the French culinary works of his wife, Suzanne Kloman.
