Marisa Bevington
Argentine born Marisa immigrated to the U.S. with her family during her teenage years. Her heart has always been torn between Argentina and the United States. Her long-term career was as a high school Spanish teacher at Gresham H.S. and Lincoln H.S. from where she retired. Throughout the teaching years, she constantly included Argentina's art, music, films and literature since she also taught the higher levels.
Marisa started drawing and painting when she was 28 participating in three exhibits of Latin American Artists residing in Oregon. These were held at the World Trade Center in Portland as well one in Salem. She has also exhibited her watercolors at the now closed Onda Gallery on Alberta in 2005 and 2006. With her Argentine artist friends, she was part of an exhibit at Gallery Rene in Portland's Old Town. She also participated in Partners of the Americas' Art Exchange Oregon- Costa Rica in 2012 exhibiting with her fellow artists in Grecia, Costa Rica and upon returning to Portland at Director's Park. Marisa exhibited three large wooden panels at the Milagro Theatre's entry hall during 2013.
Marisa's paintings have been influenced by her Argentine background and culture and one of the best examples of this is a watercolor painting titled "They have been engaged for 15 years". Her art has been published in Polyglot, a Lincoln High School literary and visual arts magazine, 2004 (Poems with art) and 1994 (artwork), We Share our World... Compartimos el mundo by Penny McDonald, 2016 (two paintings), and was included in Nosotros, the Hispanic People of Oregon, edited by Erasmo Gamboa and Carolyn M. Buan 1995.
