Bio
Willow Lynne Evans is the descendent of four generations of artists on both sides of her family; this gave her an art education as part of her genesis. She has been painting professionally since 1986. Her deep exploration of theater, film, costume design, and graphic design all contribute to the allegory that she tells with her paintings. It’s as if she drops into the canvas and allows the images to unfold, as a dramatic story reveals itself, akin to a theatrical piece. Her work arouses curiosity and pleasure. Using saturated colors, her command of the choreography of paint is immensely satisfying to the eye.
“Using paint, I strive to create an intimate narrative that depicts a feeling of a confidential scene. The beginning of a sentence... that ends where the audience of the painting perceives it to be. A snapshot in time that evokes the viewer’s imagination, as it did mine, in a place where words are not needed to express.”
Living and working in Santa Monica, CA, Willow Lynne Evans paints in eclectic expressions that best equate the image to the story she is portraying. This versatile approach has been an asset to fulfill the calling of each painting she envisions, where each image tells a distinctive story that has developed spontaneously in the creative process. Also, this adeptness in styles gives her the skills to fulfill the parameters of many commissioned works.
During her first 1986 solo exhibition, actor Patrick Duffy discovered her work. He then introduced her to the set decorator of the internationally televised show “Dallas.” She was then commissioned to paint ten canvases to hang on the sets of the Dallas TV show. Others followed, and she was asked to paint for the shows of Aaron’s way and Falcon Crest. Her career was launched. Patrick Duffy, reconnected with her in 2013, and she was asked to paint for the revived Dallas TV series 2013-2014. Actors Patrick Duffy and Jason Bateman are collectors of her work. Jason Bateman commissioned nine paintings for his home. Patrick Duffy has had one of her paintings hanging in his home for over 28 years.
She was awarded a “Certificate of Excellence for Outstanding Achievement in Painting” by I.A.C. an International Art Competition that was juried by representatives of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum, The Marcusie Pfeifer Gallery, and Art in America magazine.
While studying in Europe, she was represented by Arts Tournelle Gallery in Paris and has also been represented by several Los Angeles galleries.
Her work has been seen on five international television shows and can be seen showcased on an episode in Season 3 of "9-1-1: LONE STAR."
