About the Artist

A classically trained artist, Evan has honed his craft for more than twenty years within the dynamic landscape of the film and entertainment industries around the world. Concerned with history, mythology, beauty, and the human condition his artistic vision is a testament to his dedication to evoke drama and mood, crafted with an eye for detail and draftsmanship. Inspired by the luminous brushstrokes of the Australian Impressionists, Evan strives to capture the essence of light and emotion in his work, carrying on their legacy with passion and skill. Exploring various traditional media including oil painting, drawing and print making he develops his work in his studio south of Sydney and en plein air in the landscapes that inspire.
