Cottageville, SC
Chris Evans' peripatetic childhood is responsible inpart, for her continuing interest in place. Parental interests in Asian art, particularly highly portable screens and scrolls created a familiarity with Asian composition and tonal subtlety. Following graduation with a BFA from the University of Texas, she lived in NYC, where she exhibited in multiple exhibits curated by Lucy Lippard and C. David Thomas. On a trip to Chicago in 1991 Evans was introduced to an urban monastic order of mennonites. She joined the order, raising her son there while continuing to paint. She supported her family with her art until 2008, when she moved to South Carolina to teach children with autism and selective mutism to communicate through the manipulation of collage and other mediums. Evans now works full time in her studio in Rock Hill.
