Just a little about
Evonne
My interest in art has been a lifelong fascination. I have never known life without art. I have enjoyed painting and sketching since I was a child. My artistic talent was nurtured by my father who encouraged me to acquire and education in the arts.
I have created art in many different mediums, but my favorite is watercolor. Although painting with watercolor is a challenge, I am excited by the many techniques that offer a variety of newness to my art.
My home studio is located in a forested area that is ever-changing with the seasons. Although I paint some from photos that I have taken, I prefer to paint and sketch in beautiful locations and from still life and models
My paintings are filled with light and color. Although art speaks to each person differently, I feel my choices of subjects and colors create cheerful and soothing impressions that are friendly and comfortable to view.
I continually take classes from other professionals to further my art education. I now teach watercolor painting on a regular basis plus give workshops in different parts of the country. It pleases me to share the joy of watercolor with others. Contact me if your interested in hosting one of my workshops.
I enjoy exhibiting my art and will continue to enter juried shows and competitions as well as exhibit paintings in galleries throughout the country.
I have always dreamed of making my living as an artist. Now I am living that dream and enjoying every minute of it.
