Trish Evans is an oil painter living and working in Brisbane.

Trish’s paintings combine abstraction and representation of Australian landscapes or settings that she has personally experienced alongside the people depicted in the scene. She paints to capture both place and a particularly human experience of the place. She aims to record colour and light in a way that encourages the viewer to look into the canvas and recognise the place or a similar real or desired experience of their own.

Trish undertook a brief period of formal training at the South Australia School of Art in the early 1980s under Dr Jolly Koh, and then again while travelling at San Jose State University in California, USA. While maintaining her art interests during her professional career her art practice has only resumed in recent years.

New to exhibiting, Trish was a finalist in the 2023 and 2024 Brisbane Rotary Art Shows, the 2024 Harden Art Prize, the 2024 Fairholme Art Prize, and the 2024 Doyles Art Award. She also has a growing number of works in her private collections.
