James Evans
I choose James Evans as my artist to interview. Looking around at all the different artwork his stuck out to me. The colors of his paintings were all warm and inviting. Evans has been an artist for over 50 years now. He lives 12 miles east of Bloomsburg; where he has a studio in his house. For College he attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
For his painting Evans uses Arches paper, because he believes that it is the best paper that you can buy. Other than that, the only thing that he uses watercolors because he likes the way that they transfer onto the paper. Every one of his paintings is done outside, looking at what he is painting. He has done almost all of his work in, and around Bloomsburg, capturing the essence of this town. He has also done a lot of work in Cape May, NJ. Which if I may say so is one of the most beautiful places.
As an artist he also had to have a full time job to maintain a living. He has candle business, however, he is now about to retire from it. Now he is focusing on selling more of his artwork by going to galleries, art fairs, and other places where he can sell his artwork. He has artwork for sale at the store As Nature Intended. Other advice he has for current art students is to just keep drawing, he says that is the best thing that you can do.
