the artist

Millicent Evans is a Walthamstow-based painter whose practice fuses observation with painterly invention. Trained in Fine Art at Aberystwyth University, she creates compositions where the ordinary meets the eccentric, exploring the tension between human influence and the natural world. Drawing sits at the core of her process, guiding her exploration of form, pattern, and humour. Her works are playful yet deeply considered, transforming everyday scenes into rich visual dialogues that question how we inhabit and interpret the spaces around us.

the story

Within Epping Forest, Millicent is drawn to the peculiar, sculptural forms of ancient trees, treating each drawing as a kind of portrait. ‘Reflected Roots’ began as an on-site study made in the cold of winter, the page rotated every few minutes to build up layered lines and shifting perspectives. The pace of working outdoors brought an immediacy and freedom to the piece, while back in the warmth of her studio, Millicent refined it further - pairing colours with quiet intention and reflecting on the life of the forest.
