"I create landscape oil paintings to reconnect us with nature so that we can enjoy that place of peace and calm in our own homes and workspaces.”- Amy Evans
Amy Evans has been creating ever since she colored with crayons on her bedroom wallwhile she was supposed to be napping. She studied art from an early age after her elementary teachers encouraged her. After a degree in Fine Art and a professional career in fiber arts Amy returned to her first love..painting.
She has studied at the Denver Art Students League as well as with other top artists including Kevin MacPherson, Albert Handell, and Doug Dawson.
Amy continues to paint in oils and can often be found painting outdoors. Her studies often become larger paintings and have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the US. Collectors have remarked that her paintings do not shout at you. They bring a sense of calm into a space.
Her recent challenge is painting pets. She loves capturing their souls in paint through closely working with their humans on commissions.
Amy also teaches art workshops nationwide as well as private lessons, believing that we can all benefit from art. She has also served as a juror for national art shows.
Statement
My paintings are windows into the beauty of our world for our homes and workspaces. They create a sanctuary of beauty wherever they are placed. That is why I create them.These captured moments in paint reflect the elements of that scene: its colors, light, and weather.
