Video interview with Mary Page Evans

On view March 31 through July 15, 2012 at the Delaware Museum of Art, this exhibition highlights Evans’ vibrant depictions of nature and the human form while celebrating the artist’s distinguished career.

Mary Page Evans works directly from nature, seeking to capture a specific landscape, figure, tree, or sky. Her vibrant paintings and drawings evoke particular places—gardens in Delaware and France, a mountain in the Shenandoah Valley, the Florida coast—sites she returns to again and again, chronicling them in different moods and seasons. Displaying work made over more than 40 years,Painted Poetryis organized thematically to highlight Evans’ longstanding interests: landscapes, gardens, figures, trees, seas, and skies.
