Add some outstanding Americana to your abode!

This exquisite creation by renowned artist Robert Beaven is a beautifully crafted mirror, framed in bold stripes of red, white, and blue, complemented by statement stars, an American eagle and shield at the top, and emblazoned with “July 4, 1998” at the bottom. It’s a unique conversation piece that will add an interesting pop of patriotism to any room!

From the Collection of Robert Beaven:

Robert Beaven is an artist and a retired Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Cincinnati. He played a key role in shaping UC’s sculpture program starting in 1970, when the university’s art, architecture, and design programs merged to form DAAP (Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning).
He taught at UC for over 30 years while also maintaining an active studio practice.

Beaven began his career as a painter and printmaker, later shifting to mixed media sculpture, and eventually to finely crafted furniture inspired by the Adirondack tradition. One of his early prints is held in the collection of the Cincinnati Art Museum. His work has been exhibited at venues including the Tangeman Gallery, the Contemporary Arts Center, and Solway Gallery.

After retiring from teaching, Beaven focused on his interests in antiques, folk art, and nature. His time outdoors led to collecting twisted sticks, twigs, fossils, and other natural materials, many of which became elements in his sculptural furniture. A lifelong maker and collector, he also ran an antique business with his wife, Anne, and they built a broad network of fellow collectors throughout Ohio and beyond.
