Jamie Evrard is a celebrated Canadian painter whose evocative floral, landscape, and still-life artworks have captivated collectors for over four decades. Working primarily in oil paint, monotype, and watercolour, Evrard transforms everyday subjects into richly expressive compositions, offering a timeless blend of contemporary Canadian art and classical sensibility. Her paintings are distinguished by their luminous colour palettes, confident brushwork, and an unmistakable sense of depth and atmosphere.
Renowned for her ability to elevate the ordinary, Evrard draws inspiration from familiar domestic objects and quiet, understated landscapes. Through decisive, economical strokes and layered textures, she creates immersive scenes that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and rediscover beauty in the everyday. Her floral paintings, in particular, are celebrated for their lush vitality and emotional resonance, making them ideal statement pieces for both modern and traditional spaces.
As Evrard explains, her practice is rooted in observation and transformation: she paints not only to represent what she sees, but to deepen her understanding of it, capturing both its physical presence and its poetic essence. This thoughtful approach results in artworks that feel intimate, contemplative, and enduring.
Evrard’s work is held in numerous prestigious public and private collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank, Vancouver Art Gallery, Seattle Arts Commission Public Works Collection, Art Gallery of Hamilton, and Simon Fraser University. Her pieces are a strong investment in Canadian fine art, reflecting both artistic excellence and long-standing institutional recognition.
A graduate of Brown University (B.A. in Art and Anthropology) and the University of Iowa (M.A. and M.F.A. in Studio Art, specializing in printmaking), Jamie Evrard splits her time between her homes in Vancouver, British Columbia and Italy. Her paintings continue to resonate with a global audience seeking refined, expressive, and collectible contemporary art. The oil paintings are ready to hang framed or unframed.
