Relative Mediums: Fiber and Ink

“This show highlights a journey from an ancient art form to modern photography and printing techniques through the eyes and hands of a mother and son.”


We are proud to present, Relative Mediums: Fiber & Ink, a joint art show from Betsy and Wyatt Harrison this April 2015 in The Globe's Balcony Art Gallery.

The Opening Reception for Relative Mediums: Fiber & Ink will be held Friday April 10, 2015 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m, upstairs in The Balcony Art Gallery. Meet The Artists, Lounge with Light Refreshments, and Stroll the Streets of Historic Downtown Berlin for Berlin 2nd Friday.

Wyatt Harrison



"The ability of Berlin to transcend generations is what inspires me the most.  For me, a walk down Main St. conjures memories of Rayne’s Reef milkshakes while for my Dad, it might be riding his bike to catch a movie at The Globe.  This timeless quality (along with a place called Burley Oak) keeps drawing me from the hustle of Ocean City more and more."

Wyatt Harrison is a 26 year old from Ocean City, MD.  After high school, he attended the University of San Diego and graduated with a BA in Anthropology.  Working the summers in Ocean City afforded him the ability to travel, where his love for photography developed and he saw an opportunity for his own business, Plak That.  He currently runs the printing company full time and resides in Ocean City, MD.



Betsy Hall Harrison


"Nature offers an endless source of pattern, color, and design possibilities for batik. I prefer to offer only a glimpse of what lies beyond the frayed edges of the silk. The unpredictability of painting with molten wax, and the tactile quality of the dye process continue to inspire me."

Betsy Hall Harrison has been creating original batiks since 1972. She was taught this ancient art using hot wax resist and dyes on fabric while studying at the Instituto Allende in Mexico. She earned her B.F.A. Degree in 1977 from Boise State University in Idaho. Ms. Harrison moved to Ocean City, MD. In 1980, and operates Harrison Apartments and Rooms with her husband. Her art studio is in Berlin, MD., where she concentrates in batik on silk, giclee prints, and watercolor house portraits.

Guest Post: Food For Thought

Imagine this: you finally are awarded that promotion you’ve been killing yourself for at work. You come home to your spouse and yell: “I GOT IT!!! Let’s celebrate by hitting the value menu at the drive thru!” Huh?

Don’t get me wrong, the value menu isn’t all bad. Sometimes you it’s the only thing open or the only place nearby when you’re running late for a customer meeting and you skipped breakfast. But would you want to celebrate a special life event with value menu food? No.

Why Not?

Why do we feel this way about fancy meals to celebrate special occasions? We need food to live, and food is food, right?

Thinking back to that class where you learned about the guy Maslow and his hierarchy, we need to meet our base needs of food and safety before we can focus on a wonderful night out with friends and family.

So while food is the underlying need, most of us want a little more along with it. And let’s face it, not all food is created equal.

Handcrafted Excellence

You feel special because you know this delicious plate was designed and created with love and sense of pride that comes through in every single bite. Not frozen or taken from a box, this culinary treasure was made for you.

Attention To Detail

It’s the little things, as they say. A friendly face that smiles to greet you when you walk in instead of screaming your number when you’re order is ready. If something isn't exactly to your liking, you know someone will listen to your concern and make it right.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Your favorite server or bartender asks how you are (and means it) and probably remembers your favorite drink or how you like your steak. It feels more like hanging out with friends instead of just going to get some great grub.

Local Flair

Local food put together with that special coolest small town flair. What’s better than supporting your neighbors? Especially when they are great at what they do.

It’s all about the Atmosphere

Whether it is that special occasion or a random Thursday night, there’s always a friendly face to talk to and a general good feeling that keeps you coming back.

Those are probably some of the reasons you choose The Globe over the value menu, so I didn’t tell you anything you didn’t already know.

But, have you thought about your security in the same way? There is a value menu equivalent to security and life safety systems. You see them advertised everywhere ad nauseam.  For this special occasion called life, do you want to entrust the security of your family, home (or business) and all your priceless valuables with a package off the security value menu?

Alarm Engineering is a family owned local company who believes strongly in helping our neighbors stay safe and improving quality of life. Built on a commitment to quality and being able to look you in the eye years after your system is installed, our mission is to share our expertise learned with you during free, in-person consultations, not sell you a package over the phone from a call center. We value each and every one of our customers and take the time listen to your concerns and design a system that meets those needs. As a matter of fact, even though we are a technology company, we insist on having live people answer our phones 24/7. When you have a security concern, the last thing you want to deal with is an auto-attendant.  We understand that. The average tenure of our technicians is over ten years, so our staff knows security inside and out.
Security solutions aren’t all the same any more than all food is the same.

The Globe trusted Alarm Engineering with their security and fire protection needs. And you know those folks at The Globe have great taste.

Let us show you the Alarm Engineering difference. Give us a call or visit our website now and mention this post for a special friends discount.
