Notes
- Abstract:
- For many years the charming and whimsical statue of Miss Anne and her dog, Dan, stood proudly in the front yard of Anne Beatty McKenna '48 who lived on Colville Road, near Queens. After Anne's death in 1999, Queens was pleased to learn that Anne had left the sculpture to her alma mater. Her good friend Hugh McColl personally delivered it to campus in his pickup truck and oversaw the unloading and installation on Selwyn Avenue.
It's one of two works by artist Elsie Shaw in the neighborhood-the other is of Hugh McManaway, which holds holds court two blocks from Queens.Anne's brother Dick Beatty says, "The Beatty family really loves that Anne's statue is noq at Queens where so many people can enjoy it as they walk and ride down Selwyn Avenue."
Sadly, Elsie Shaw passed away on June 27, 2015 in Gastonia. The 85-year-old daughter of former Charlotte mayor Victor Shaw leaves behind public art works in other cities, including Tallahassee and Dayton, Florida.
