Sheila Evans has lived in the Pacific Northwest for most of her life and worked as a professional artist for over 25 years. After nearly a decade of exclusive work in pastel, she began painting in oil, expanding her subject matter to include still life 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. Sheila earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art from Gonzaga University in 1988.

“The natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, combined with a newfound love of birding, inspires my most recent work. In my paintings and enamels, I express the wonder of fleeting moments found on hikes in the woods, kayak trips, and even in my backyard. The images reflect a return to my botanical roots inspired by the birds I observe and photograph in their habitat. I hope that through them, the viewer will see what I see: a world worth saving.”
