As a managing member of Selkirk Partners, Stewart Strawbridge helps oversee a long/short equity firm that utilizes careful market research and various frameworks to generate returns while reducing portfolio risk and exposure levels. Outside of his work as an investment professional, Stewart Strawbridge supports a number of organizations, including Maine’s Portland Museum of Art, which he serves as a member on its board of trustees. In addition to a permanent collection of over 18,000 pieces of art, the Portland Museum of Art (PMA) hosts a number of rotating exhibits throughout the year. Recently, the organization opened its Americans Abroad exhibit. As the name suggests, the focus of Americans Abroad is on American artists who spent time in Europe to receive training or simply find inspiration for their work. The exhibit covers the period between 1860 and 1915, and features prints and paintings by notable artists, such as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and Mary Cassatt. Some of the artworks for the exhibit, which is housed in PMA’s William D. Hammill Gallery, come from the museum’s permanent collection, while others are on special loan from outside organizations. Americans Abroad opened on August 17, 2018, and will be featured at PMA through December 2, 2018. More information is available at www.portlandmuseum.org/exhibitions.

A graduate of Bowdoin College in Maine, Stewart Strawbridge earned a bachelor’s degree in classics and archaeology. In 2008 he founded Selkirk Partners, an investment advisory firm with a long/short equity investment approach. Outside of his role at the firm, Stewart Strawbridge serves on the board of the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art. Located in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art celebrates artists from the Brandywine River area and works protect the land and natural resources of the Brandywine-Christina watershed. To this end, the Brandywine Conservancy maintains a campus that includes a beautiful river trail. The one-mile river trail takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Walkers enjoy views of native trees and plants, including the silver maple (Acer saccharinum) and black walnut (Juglans nigra), as well as diverse wildlife such as bald eagles and great blue herons. Other features of the river trail include a stone mill dam dating back to the 19th century. For years, the dam served Hoffmann’s Mill, which now houses the Brandywine River Museum of Art. Visitors can see traces of the mill race under the bridge to the right of the trail. The river trail also includes a boardwalk that takes visitors over the campus’ wetlands area, which offers views of native plants and birds, including Carolina wrens and wood ducks. Finally, the trail ends at a floodplain meadow featuring a variety of grasses and wildflowers. |
