Judy Evenson

"Art is a form of speech, spoken visually, and it does more than just record a subject - it is a personal response that communicates our wonder, curiosity, and love of the world."

​

Judy Evenson's new series of artwork celebrates just this- wonder, movement, freedom- with her source of inspiration at various skate parks in San Francisco and Humboldt, CA.  Photographing, sketching, and painting this community of roller skaters, skateboarders, and bikers (including her own granddaughter) the subject matter represents neighborhood communities sharing time and space. The resulting paintings celebrate the joy of the movement, physical limits and the limits of physics, along with true speed and exhilaration within a formal study of color, multidimensional planes and natural/manmade design.  

Meet the Evenson Urban Park Series.  

Judy Evenson formally studied movement within the realm of ballet at the School of American Ballet (George Ballenchine) in New York.  Born in Northeastern United States she now resides in Northern California and has been working with watercolor and acrylics for over five decades. When she is not painting urban parks and community spaces she is well known for painting the lands, rivers, meadows, and flower gardens of near her home.
