Working with a mix of gouache & watercolor, southern artist Evelyn Henson (EH) draws inspiration from the small joys she observes in everyday life.

Brushed with a love for all things creative, I grew up in Columbus, GA where I always had an appreciation for art. I first discovered my love for painting when I attempted a floral still life as a Mother's Day gift in college. I honestly haven't been able to put down the paint brush since---there's something about art that brings out my happiest, brightest self. With painting, I find a joy in the everyday that I didn't see as often before. I started selling a few prints on Etsy and slowly created a colorful & happy gift brand that has been featured in Glamour, Domino, Redbook, People, Southern Living, Garden & Gun, Martha Stewart, & more. 

Led by the mantra "painting is a celebration of life," I seek to create stylish art that colorfully celebrates the everyday. I look at places and things, but most of my paintings begin when I think about others and what I can paint to brighten their day. I love using bright colors and whimsical brushstrokes with the hopes of emulating joy so that each piece I create fills your home with sunshine for years to come.
