Meet the Artist
Sheila Evans
METALWORK/Drawing/Painting
After earning a bachelor’s degree in fine art from Gonzaga University in 1988 and a ten-year stint as a graphic designer, Sheila Evans began her fine art career working primarily in pastel.
Sheila Evans has lived in the Pacific Northwest for most of her life, and worked as a professional artist for the past 26 years. She became internationally known through art publications, eventually earning a place in the permanent collection of a French pastel museum. After several years of exclusive work in pastel, she began painting in oil, expanding her subject matter to include birds and animals in addition to her original botanical and landscape work. In 2016, she added kiln-fired enamel on metals to her repertoire, and now works regularly in all three mediums. An avid birder, Sheila takes her own reference photos for her artwork. Sheila shows her work in galleries throughout the west coast, as well as in fine art fairs across the country.
