Jamie Evrard was born in 1949 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Jamie enrolled at
Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island and began to study drawing
and etching in earnest. She pursued a Master of Arts degree at Iowa
University, where she continued to build on her knowledge of printmaking
and etching and her love of anthropology. She went on to receive an MFA
in printmaking in 1976. She moved to Vancouver in 1978 where she has
maintained a studio and pursued her painting and monotype printmaking.
Jamie is a painter and print maker best known for her lively and
colourful explorations of still life, flowers and gardens. Her lush,
painterly approach to imagery has established her strong reputation
across Canada and in the United States.

The four-plate etching Written in Petals was created exclusively for
Artists for Kids with a combination of sugar lift aquatint, engraving
and drypoint techniques. The painted lively line and dynamic composition
have been a constant theme for Evrard over the years; reflecting beauty
in a common object and her zest for life. Her print-making prowess is
evident in this work as the floral form reveals itself through a rich
chiaroscuro, a play of light, dark and colour.
