Terry Evans
Terry Evans was born in 1943 in Romford, Essex. He is a big, outgoing and popular man which he modestly puts down to being born under the sign of Aries the Ram. Terry Evans started painting for self-satisfaction, his subjects were portraits, racing-cars and dogs. He experimented with water-colour and acrylics and then he tried oils. Terry explains that this was a turning point in his career as he found the expressive freedom of working in paint that stayed workable for days. A second breakthrough came when he used oils to paint landscapes. By popular demand, he turned professional and for many years has enjoyed run-away success.
