Animals, especially cats and horses, have been the subject of my artwork since I was a child. This eventually led to BA in Fine Art in 1986 and the opening of Evanson Art & Design in 2003. You will find that my artwork has saturated colors, whimsy, humor, beauty and is detail-oriented. It takes the form of drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures. I sell locally and through several avenues on the internet. |
A few personal notes . . . I married my college sweetheart and eventually we bought a house in beautiful Chester County, PA, deep in horse country. We have a son, Shane, and share our house with 3 beloved cats. Max is a black Siamese mix. Zoe and Titan are Maine Coons from the same litter. Some of my other interests include gardening, baking, road biking and mountain biking. My artwork is created in my spare time as I continue to work a fulltime 2nd job in telecommunications.
