Mendo-Retro

Yvonne Pepin-Wakefield

Mendo-Retro

In 1977, 20-year-old Yvonne Pepin was granted a scholarship to attend the Mendocino Art Center’s newly established Fine Arts Program. 

Over the course of the three-year program, she studied with many MAC founders and supporters: Bill Zacha, Charles Stevenson, Dorr Bothwell, Hilda Pertha, Emmy Lou Packard, Ray and Miriam Rice. 

Additionally, she apprenticed Veron Kerr and studied privately with Bill Martin and other notable artists of that time. Mendo-Retro is a small retrospective exhibit of Yvonne’s early paintings and drawings during these years.

Mendo-Retro opens July 11th and will also feature Yvonne’s current work, and a discussion of her Mendocino recollections which are also written about in her award-winning Babe in the Woods, book series.
