Impressions of Mexico: the Journey of Sue Jean Covacevich

WPL, in partnership with Winfield Arts and Humanities and the USD 465 Foundation, is excited to host Teresa Covacevich Grana for Impressions of Mexico:  the Journey of Sue Jean Covacevich. The presentation traces Covacevich's creative journey, her marriage to businessman Nicolas Salazar Covacevich, and her community projects which involved the children of Winfield. The program will also explore the rich traditions of Mexican art and how it infused Sue Jean's own artwork. Special consideration will be given to the influence of artists Francisco Cornejo, Gerald Murilo, Diego Rivera, and Birger Sandzen. Sandzen visited Covacevich during her time in Mexico, and was a lifelong friend and mentor.

Teresa Covacevich Grana is the daughter of the artist and a cultural historian.  A collection of Covacevich's art, Mexican Impressions, is on loan from the USD 465 Foundation and will be on display at the library October 17 through November 15.
