Jane Evans has been a very successful NZ artist despite suffering from chronic lupus for many years – it’s a sort of arthritis. She had to hide from the sun.
Her works are saturated with wonderful colour. She loved painting people but it is probably her flower pictures that made her successful. She hasn’t had much critical acclaim but has been successful where it counts – people want to buy her work. There is a book about her by John Coley.
Here are some of my favourite works:
