Bio Info
Nevin Mercede earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting from theUniversity of Montana and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the art school formerly known as the California College of Arts and Crafts. Since 1995, her studio investigations have been situated around the interplay between verbal and visual reflections. After teaching at numerous other schools, among them Maryland Institute College of Art, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of South Florida, Nevin joined the Antioch College faculty in 1998. In response to the 2008 College closure, she became a founding faculty member of the Nonstop Liberal Arts Institute where Antioch’s undergraduate teaching mission, including shared governance and experiential learning, was carried forward while embracing the contributions of life long learners from the regional community. Nevin, her spouse Bill Robinson and their wily cat Wilbur live in Yellow Springs, Ohio and New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
