John Borden Evans was born in 1956 in Scotland to American parents. He graduated from Davidson College as a studio art major and has been painting ever since.

Forty-five years ago, John moved to North Garden, Virginia. There he and his wife raised two children and now John spends a lot of time looking after his five grandchildren who live nearby. John enjoys building things and being a good neighbor.

Over the years, John’s paintings have become more and more about place. That place is his immediate environment, the cattle fields, the trees, the fences and the skies.
