Valerie Evanson

My fine art explores various mediums through abstraction and realism. Cats, horses, old architecture, and monarch butterflies are common subjects. I have been doing business as Evanson Art & Design since 2003. Currently, we share our house with 2 Maine Coon cats and a Siamese mix. During the summer we raise monarchs as a family project. You can follow our monarch journey through Facebook or Twitter. News and chatter are also posted there. My artwork is sold on several websites and has been sold at local shows as well.

If you are interested in purchasing an original drawing, painting or sculpture, you can find more info about the piece on my main website. If it is framed there will be photos of the frame and directions on how and where to purchase the piece.

Photography: I learned to shoot using my Grandpa's Leica M4 and I use whatever camera I have at hand. The photos that are for sale on this site were either taken with my Nikon FG (film camera, which I sold), one of the Nikon Coolpix cameras I've owned (film and digital, currently I have a 4300 digital), my Sony F828 (digital) or my Nikon D90 (digital).

Education: I think I was in junior high when my parents asked if I wanted to take riding lessons or art lessons. I chose riding lessons, which eventually led to being accepted as an equestrian major at Averett University (back then it was a college). However, I was an art major in high school and when I decided to drop my horse courses, I transferred to Messiah College (which is a Christian college) and graduated with a BA in Fine Art and Graphic Design in 1986.

I am a member of the Society of Photo Finishing Engineers. I am also a member of the eBay groups ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) and ATC & ACEO Enthusiasts.
