Beverly Ford Evans is a native of Nashville, Tennessee. As a child she was drawn to the beauty that surrounded her. Encouraged by her parents, she began drawing and painting. As an adult Beverly has become a prolific artist. She has studied with accomplished artist Roger Dale Brown, Dawn Whitelaw, Ken Backhaus, Quang Ho and Jeremy Lipking. What inspired Beverly to return to her love of painting, after a carreer in interior design, was the beauty of her home state. Tennessee is abundant in natural beauty and history. Beverly captures its essence and shares it through her paintings. She also loves to pack her paints and travel to other parts of our beautiful country and abroad, where she is inspired by the diversity and beauty at every turn in the road. In recent years, Beverly has combined her love of the outdoors and animals into her art, and has become known for her wildlife, fowl, game and sporting art. She has been inspired by the works of artist Bob Kuhn, Frank W. Benson, Tucker Smith and Carl Rungius.
