“Plevin creates an art of astounding beauty, an art whose power forces the viewer to look anew at what are often ordinary objects.”

~Robert L. Kurtz, Curator, Butler Institute of American Art, The Art of Gloria Plevin

Like my heroes Mary Cassatt, Pierre Bonnard, and Fairfield Porter, I want my art to capture and celebrate the life around me, whether I’m painting a cauliflower, a Chautauqua landscape or a beloved grandchild.

Collette, the French author, wrote that her mother would always say, “Look! Look!” on their outings, pointing out this and that as they drove about.

And so I did the same with my children. “Look! Look!” I would say from the time they were babies.

Now, to anyone interested in my paintings and essays, I continue to say, “Look! Look!”
