ART + WINE + CHEESE: Welcome artist CYNTHIA BEVAN from Paris, France

Cynthia Bevan is a French/American artist engraver whose works capture the poetic je ne sais quoi of French culture in the simplest of moments: a young woman daydreaming as she gazes out over the Paris rooftops, an old man reading in his favorite Parisian café, a woman in her Haussmann-style apartment with a good book, a roaring fire, and a cat curled at her feet. Cynthia revels in the bold, solid surfaces of lino engraving, its striking contrasts and the subtly embossed texture obtained from printing on a press.

A major turning point was her introduction to the techniques of engraving, and particularly relief printing on lino, under the guidance of internationally acclaimed Catherine Gillet.

Originally from Los Angeles, she has lived in the Paris region for three decades. And she will be at Nepenthe Gallery to meet and greet our community—-we hope you can join us!
