Evan Bowman was born in Fairfax, Virginia in 1995, and grew up in Albany, New York. Although he works professionally as an engineer, Evan has a lifelong interest in color and design. He works obsessively on his paintings, but has never exhibited or sold anything. While he mainly works in oil paint and gouache, he began using gouache in middle school at the urging of his mother, who works as a graphic designer, and he is happiest when sketching with gouache paint.
