Nicholas Evans-Cato, one of America's foremost young landscape painters, will give a slide talk called "Reflections on Painting New York City" on Tuesday, March 12, at Homewood's Mattin Center.

Evans-Cato, who is 29 and lives and works in Brooklyn, N.Y., will trace the history of American cityscape from the Federal era to the present. He also will show his own work and discuss what it means to be an urban landscape painter in New York in the aftermath of Sept. 11.

Evans-Cato's paintings are in numerous permanent collections, including those of the Museum of the City of New York and the New York Historical Society.

Evans-Cato earned a bachelor of fine arts degree at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1994 and has taught drawing and painting at Marymount Manhattan College and Israel's Jerusalem Studio School. He has been profiled in The New York Times and Harper's Magazine and by New York's PBS affiliate.

"Reflections on Painting New York City" will begin at 5:30 p.m. in room 160 of the Offit Building. The event is sponsored by the Homewood Art Workshops and is free to the public. For more information, contact Art Workshops director Craig Hankin at 410-516-6705 or chankin@jhu.edu.
