Gloria Rosenthal Plevin (born 1934) is an American painter and print maker living and working in Northeast Ohio. She works in watercolors, pastels, acrylics and monoprints.[1]

Biography

Plevin was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 25, 1934. She was raised in Clarksburg, West Virginia, and graduated from Washington Irving High School in 1952. She received an Associates Degree from Ohio University in 1954.[2] When she was thirty years old with young children at home, she began pursuing a painting career.[3] Her need for technical information and experience with materials and tools of art, led her to classes at the Cooper School of Art, and the Cleveland Institute of Art.[4] She studied with Thelma Frazier Winter and Moe Brooker.[3]

Plevin's first museum curated show was held in 1993 at the Butler Institute of American Art, then located in Salem, Ohio.[5]
