Evelyn is primarily a painter working with acrylics, ink and dye, (there is an attraction to the unpredictability of using water). She is also increasingly becoming more interested in the possibilities of using photography, sound and video.

While studying Fine Art at Leeds Met University she was invited to spend her second year on an exchange in The University of Barcelona. There Evelyn was undoubtedly influenced by the strong colours, architecture, music and vibrant art scene there.

Ever since, she visits Spain and always manages to be more productive in the sunny weather and slow tempo of life.

She is especially keen on the work of Antoni Tapies, Frida Kahlo, Goya and Miro.

Travelling has always been a great source for development. Her most recent series of paintings stem from a trip to Prague. She still has to visit her parent's countries Cyprus and Guyana and is making plans to go there soon.

She is currently researching the connections between the mark making, folklore and symbolism of Greek and Hindu mythology.

As well as the dynamic urban environment of the city she enjoys the Yorkshire countryside, and it is from nature that inspires her most.

Past exhibitions have been in Villa de Arte, and Galleria del Nu Born, Barcelona, Borders, The Leeds Innovation in Design Centre, and Vinyl Bar Gallery, London.
