In Source of Light, Jamie Evrard embraces a new consciousness of light and delves deeper into her floral subject; abstracting its structure and form.
Evrard’s process has her actively engage with past and present work, sparking intuitive compositions which speak to each other within a balanced body of work. Created with a fast, reflexive hand, each of Evrard's canvases become a document of her process; emblematic of the destruction and creation inherent to both the artist's practice and the subject itself.
Evrard's work is included in collections of the Canada Council Art Bank, Vancouver Art Gallery, Seattle Arts Commission Public Works Collection, Government of BC, Ministry of Culture Art Collection, Burnaby Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Hamilton, Simon Fraser University, Maltwood Art Museum and Gallery, University of Victoria, The Claridge Collection, Montreal. Jamie Evrard received a B.A. in Art and Anthropology from Brown University and an M.A. and M.F.A. in studio art with a concentration in printmaking from the University of Iowa.
