Come laugh, dream, and travel to another world.
Layered mixed media + oil paintings by Evelyne Verret.
Hi, I'm Evelyne.
Every painting I make is a doorway.
Some open to the Hawk & Squirrel world, an unlikely friendship traveling by canoe through impossibly beautiful places.
Some open to a threshold, where a woman stands at the edge of becoming.
Some open to a single face, a horse, a dancer, a wild creature, caught in a moment that tells stories.
Three worlds. One open door. Come in.
Collections
In Grandmother’s Garden, a new world is created where a hawk and a squirrel are friends and go through all kinds of adventures. They have somewhere to be, something to say, and usually a very strong opinion about tea.
Paintings of women in transformation, at the portal, beneath the phoenix, in the particular silence before everything changes.
Faces and wild things in oil, a horse crowned by wind, a woman looking through her own hair, a dancer opening like the night sky. Each one holds a whole story in a single breath.
About Me
I came to painting late. Or maybe right on time. Either way, here I am, brush in hand, painting the world I wish existed.
Painted as Your Animal Self
Ever wondered what animal you'd be if you weren't quite so human? A commissioned portrait paints you, or someone you love, as the creature that lives inside. A hummingbird, a turtle, a bear, a fox. Your story, your spirit, in feathers or fur.
