Claire Evans
Claire Evans moved to Boulder in 1954. She moved into a studio in downtown Boulder and began painting portraits. Contacts with galleries and art consultants followed, and the studio gradually evolved into what is now called Art/Work/Space, shared by seventeen artists working independently.

The paintings, mostly oils, have gone from rather stark construction sites in the seventies to sunlit window sill still lifes in the eighties. In 1983 Evans was drawn to the waterlillies and lotuses of the Denver Botanic Gardens, which she continues to paint and exhibit. When she moved to the northern outskirts of Boulder , she discovered the extraordinary beauty of cottonwoods, prairies, and streams.

Evans continues to paint portraits, landscapes and still lifes, and also gives demos, critiques, and classes. The interchange of expierence and knowledge with hundreds of students over the years has enriched her life.
