Marilyn McEvoy

Marilyn McEvoy was born in Gary, Indiana and attended high school during a turbulent period of busing black students to integrate her all-white school. Does she know for sure if this experience of chaos and disruption influenced her desire for order and simplicity in her compositions? No, but like all life’s journeys that include uncomfortable episodes, we unknowingly call upon them in different ways.

She currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico where the exceptional light and diversity of cultures enhances her artistic expression. She began her career in clay and moved into painting where she is self-taught. She has gallery representation at San Francisco Street Gallery in Santa Fe.
