Artist Jeff Evans - Interaction of Shape within Portraits.
Featuring the 1965 Miss America Contestants as seen in Life Magazine

Jeff Evans is an accomplished painter and photographer based in Bordentown, New Jersey. He has showcased his work in galleries across major cities, including New York City, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Trenton, Los Angeles, and Pasadena.

His paintings and watercolors are predominantly figurative, drawing inspiration from printed magazines, advertising, digital imaging, and collage techniques. Jeff's recent work includes a series of paintings and works on paper inspired by a 1965 Life Magazine advertisement featuring portraits of all fifty Miss America contestants from that year. These pieces explore the interaction of shapes within the portraits, as varying surfaces and paint applications give each piece a unique character.

Jeff holds a Master of Fine Arts from The School of Visual Arts in New York, NY, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. Since 2004, Jeff has been a dedicated photographer at the Princeton University Art Museum, where he specializes in photographing art and cultural heritage materials. His work encompasses visible light photography, multispectral imaging, and 3D modeling using photogrammetry. Jeff’s photography has been prominently featured in over twenty of the museum's scholarly publications.

As an avid museum and gallery visitor, Jeff’s artistic style is deeply influenced by figurative works from the ancient world, Flemish and French painting, as well as Twentieth Century and contemporary art.
