She received an associate degree from Ohio University in 1954. [1] When she was thirty years old with young children at home, she began pursuing a painting career. [2] At a time when the art world was favoring abstract expressionism and geometric expression, Plevin stayed true to her realistic style. [3] Her need for technical information and experience with materials and tools of art, led her to classes at the Cooper School of Art, and the Cleveland Institute of Art. [4] Thelma Frazier Winter and Moe Brooker were among her teachers. [2]
Plevin first received public recognition of her work in 1973 when she received the "Helen Logan Award" for Traditional Painting for her father-in-law's portrait in the Chautauqua National Juried Show. [2] In 1985, she opened her own gallery in Chautauqua, New York. [5]
Over time, Plevin's content moved from portraits and still-life to gardens and landscapes. [2] Her first museum curated show was held in 1993 at the Butler Institute of American Art, then located in Salem, Ohio. [6] In 1999, Plevin received the Governor's Award from the Ohio Arts Council. [1]
