Bio
Evelyn is a Mexican painter born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and raised between Southern California and Colorado. Her early life was shaped by displacement and adaptation — navigating the quiet complexities of building a new life while holding onto inherited culture and memory.
Much of her childhood unfolded in overlooked spaces: auto body shops where her father worked, streets between errands, secondhand stores with her mother. These in-between places became her first sites of observation, where she learned to understand art as a way to translate experience rather than simply depict it.
Her paintings move between abstraction and place-based memory, using acrylic and oil to explore what lives beneath the surface — connection, tension, belonging, and the invisible threads between people and place.
Evelyn holds a BFA in Painting with a minor in Art History from Metropolitan State University of Denver (2011). She has exhibited throughout Denver's Santa Fe and 40 West Arts Districts, contributed to nonprofits across the metro area, and has been featured in The Denver Post, Westword, and El Semanario.
She lives and works in Denver.
