Andrea Sherrill Evans (she/her) is an Arizona-born, Baltimore-based artist and educator whose work explores interconnection and resilience within the natural world. Interweaving ideas and materiality, she makes drawings that explore ecological systems, seasonal cycles, and changing landscapes. Evans has a long-standing interest in historical drawing mediums and processes, which guides her use of materials ranging from silverpoint and watercolor to handmade inks, charcoal, and paper. In her recent work, she utilizes botanical materials carefully foraged in local and visited environments to fabricate drawing mediums and substrates that carry a specificity of time and place.

Evans received her BFA from Arizona State University and MFA at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston / Tufts University. Her work has been exhibited at IA&A at Hillyer (Washington, DC), VisArts (Rockville, MD), C.
