Figurative, Still Life and Narrative Works
Based on everyday life experiences, objects of personal significance, and the artist's family life, these works are presented in a variety of media and formats including shaped panels, triptychs and altarpieces. Utilizing non-linear narratives and unconventional metaphor, they transform the commonplace into universal expressive commentary on social, environmental and philosophical issues, such as climate change, the cycles of life, death, growth and decay, parenthood, and the passage of time.

The Outer Banks
For most of his life, Evans has summer vacationed with his family in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, gaining an intimate feel for the landscape and natural features of these barrier islands and this particular stretch of the Atlantic coast. On a number of occasions Evans has traveled there solo in the post season/off season to paint plein air at a time when the vacationers are gone and the beaches return to their more natural state. Different from his studio works, these works are more straight forward observations of light and the ever changing ocean-scape and beach eco-system.
