Deities, flowing figures, wild plants, and mythical animals; Evans’ enjoys drawing the things that pass through his routine daydreams, picking those that interest him and giving them form. The works presented in “Short Story” feature layer upon layer of these drifting thoughts creating open-ended narratives that invite audience participation. Keep an open mind and your eyes peeled, you just might come across a wandering spirit or an elusive creature staring back at you from behind the artwork.

In 2013-2014 Evans curated the exhibition “Crossing Cultures: The Art of Manga in Hawaiʻi” which explored the influence Hawaiʻi has had on the work of twelve local manga artists and writers. He currently serves as Collections Manager for the Honolulu Museum of Art and is happy to work with and experience a variety of art from all over the world on a daily basis.
