About the Artist
Evan Ringuette
I'm an artist from Michigan and I use traditional materials to create my work. My paintings and drawings are inspired by Surrealism, Renaissance and Erotic art. The most rewarding thing about learning how to draw and paint is having the freedom to visually create whatever I can imagine.
I'm self-taught and my experience has allowed me to offer many artistic services like custom art and guided paintings. I instructed at a paint and sip venue in Ann Arbor from 2014-2020 and now I enjoy teaching people how to paint and have a good time in my studio in Tecumseh.
In the last few years, I moved to the country with my wife and 4 kids. We now have chickens and goats and I have been learning how to build things and deal with other challenges related to having land and a small farm. It's a good workout!
I continue to create original art and improve my skill level. I'm fascinated by how everything has to exist in the mental realm first before it can exist in the physical world. The act of bringing in a vision from this place is just as important as the finished art itself.

___
Looking back on the need to create
I wonder where it comes from
A pencil, some paint
Unlimited potential
Awake and asleep
Freedom and peace
What will I channel?
What will come to me?
When artwork is finished
It's easy to see
Not like the process
The journey goes deep
A vision from the gods
Or a human impulse
If you deny what's below
You deny what's above
