| Carol
Evans
This
celebrated watercolour artist takes great pleasure in painting the natural
beauty of the West Coast of Canada and the Pacific Northwest, and she captures
every nuance of both its power and grace in her paintings. Many of Carol
Evans watercolours portray British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest on
the beautiful and rugged pacific shores on the west coast of Vancouver
Island. Her ability to create intensity of colour in the watercolor medium
and her attention to the subtleties of light are trademarks of her increasingly
popular work.
The
art of Carol Evans is expressed through the medium of her exquisitely detailed
watercolours. "When the sun highlights a scene, often a fairly ordinary
one, it catches
my
attention. A common sight, even a relatively mundane setting will become
illumined and bright. It practically sings with radiance and everything
becomes extraordinarily beautiful. I always find it an uplifting moment
when that happens and it is one of my favourite subjects for painting -
not just the scene itself, but how the sunlight plays in the scene."
Since
1981 Carol has held 15 very successful one-woman exhibitions in a variety
of places; Vancouver, Salt Spring Island, Gabriola Island and Naniamo.
She was invited
to
participate in a group exhibition by the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria,
"The Real West Coast" where she was honoured to have her paintings shown
along side the work of fellow west coast artists. |
