Item Description

This framed limited edition print "Trails of Light" signed by artist Carol Evans is listed in the catalogue as having a value of $700. This original water colour was painted in 1991, and the limited edition is sold out, hence the high value.

Carol Evans, who lives on Salt Spring island, loves thisWest Coast land, and as a master watercolorist, she captures every nuance of both its power and grace in her marvelous paintings. Sunbeams streaming through an ancient rainforest; children frolicking at the seashore; a sailboat bobbing in waters sparkling with diamonds of light; an eagle soaring against the backdrop of a snow-peppered, granite wall: all are images that she has beautifully interpreted with her realistic style. Her ability to create intensity of color in the watercolour medium and her attention to the subtleties of light are trademarks of her increasingly popular work.

Carol Evans was aware of her destiny as an artist at an early age. Encouraged by her parents, she eagerly investigated everything about art that her mother introduced and, with equal enthusiasm, explored the outdoors her father enjoyed. Born in Vancouver and raised in a number of communities throughout British Columbia, Carol completed high school in the Yukon. After spending some time in the Queen Charlottes - a formative experience - she enrolled in the University of Victoria fine arts program. Realizing her interest and forte were solely in the medium of watercolour, she withdrew from the program after a year of study and eventually moved to the Gulf Islands.
