- No form of art is more challenging to illustrate than Fantasy Art. Nowhere in the real world do imaginary
- creatures and the realms of fantasy exist and only the most talented of illustrators have the ability to bring
- to life these creatures and realms in a way we can all envision.
-
- Les Evans has such a talent. He works soley from his imagination, constantly sketching ideas, and works
- hard to share his vision. While Les works with watercolours and gouache, some of his more interesting
- and detailed works are done in pen & ink.
-
- Now living in Nelson, British Columbia in Canada with his wife, Shirley and their Irish Setter, Red
- Sonja, Les grew up on the west side of New York City, where he attended and graduated from the High
- School of Music & Art. After moving to Canada in the 1960s, he studied commercial art and visual
- communications at Camosun College in Victoria, British Columbia, the Kootenay School of Arts in
- Nelson, British Columbia and Alberta College of Art in Calgary, Alberta. While continuing to do
- freelance illustrating, Les has been employed as a graphic artist and reprographic film technician.
-
- At age 49, Les a father of four and grandfather to three grandsons, is pursuing his dream of being a
- fantasy art illustrator.
-
- Seven years ago Les developed a medical condition called a benign tremor which causes his left hand, his
- drawing hand, to shake. After five years of frustration and struggling to continue his work, he decided to
- try, with success, to draw and paint with his right hand. All his recent work is done right-handed and are
- better than before.
-
- Although new to the world of fantasy art, Les looks forward to achieving a successful career illustrating
- his visions for all to share.
