About the Artist

Evette Banks, a self taught visual artist from St. Louis, MO., has always had a love for all things creative, and began drawing at a very early age. Around 2009, after battling health issues, she decided to retreat to the comfort of painting to relieve stress. The paintings became her passionate go-to when experiencing stress and health setbacks. 

Each painting reflected a different aspect of herself and how the world felt to her at the moment. They also reflected how she perceived the worlds' impact on others. Poems were written to accompany each piece of art to further define the message (as poetry was one of her first loves), but she never shared her gift with anyone outside the walls of her home. A few years later, she realized the transformative power of sharing her work. Her intentions are to inspire others to seek supportive creative outlets. 

Evette's goal is to encourage others to find healing passion in life, live life to the fullest, and along the way indulge in beautiful works of art!
