Evanna Morris - "Navigating Difficult Times"
A solo show of the artist’s work.
“Walnut Hill Tobacco Barn” by Evanna Morris
As I navigate these trying times, I find solace in my art making activities. Over the years, I have enjoyed the creative process whether it is painting, weaving, jewelry making, felting, sketching gardening or cooking. For the last thirteen years, it has been watercolor painting.
With my art, I hope to create a story or a mood. Many of my paintings reflect my surroundings either at home in Lancaster County or in my travels. I gladly do commissions including pets, people, homes and landscapes.
