Professor of Art, Art blevinthal@psu.edu Office Phone: 215-881-7475 Office Location: Rydal, 204 Bottom FieldsBio Education M.F.A The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, 1983 (Printmaking) B.F.A Philadelphia College of Art, Philadelphia, PA, 1981, (Printmaking) Research My current work is a reflection of my experience moving through the world, I see the images as open-ended explorations of places and spaces, both mental and physical. My art offers a visual response to place, not a literal depiction of a particular location. Any single work might become a place in itself, reflecting an experience or a state of mind. The work becomes a metaphor of the journey, a navigation that melds observation with memory, movement and layered time, to create a new context that exists somewhere between the real and the imagined.
