Maggie Evans

Musical Styles: Effervescent and High Energy Latin Grooves and Rhythms

Maggie Evans was in born in Denton, Texas in 1980. She holds an MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design (2007) and a BFA in Illustration from Utah State University (2003).

Maggie's art is perpetuated by her intimacy with music. Her current portfolio is based on her experiences playing bass in a blues band in bars throughout Georgia and South Carolina. Working from memory in charcoal on paper, Maggie uses an improvisatory approach to explore the gritty character of bars from her perspective as a musician.

Maggie's work is included in several private and public collections throughout the United States. Awards include the Nancie Mattice Award 2007 from Dangenart Gallery in Nashville, TN and the Graduate Fellows Award from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2005. She has had three solo exhibitions and has been included in several invitational exhibits as well as over twenty-five group shows. In addition to working as an artist, she performs regularly throughout the southeast as the bassist and vocalist of the jazz trio Silver Lining.
