Edwin Evans (artist)

Edwin Evans (February 2, 1860, Lehi, Utah - March 3, 1946, Los Angeles)[1] was an American landscape painter and teacher.

His father was Bishop David Evans (1804-1883), founder of the city where he was born, which was originally called "Evansville".

Soon after, in the 1880s, Evans and his wife went to Salt Lake City, where he studied with George M. Ottinger and Dan Weggeland.

[2] Later that year, with Hafen and James Taylor Harwood, he founded an "Academy of Art" in Salt Lake City.

[2] During his later years, he returned to Paris for several exhibits, concentrated largely on watercolors and donated many of his paintings to Brigham Young University and Lehi High School.
