Evon Streetman

[1][2][3] Evon Streetman was born in 1932 in Fort Meade, Florida.

From an early age, Streetman was surrounded by artistic people including her maternal grandmother, a painter, her paternal grandfather, a metalsmith and woodworker, as well as her father, a woodworker, taxidermist and craftsman.

She studied painting at Florida State University where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Art in 1954 and began graduate work.

During this time, Streeman's photography style became more experimental, employing her painting techniques and use of gold and silver leaf on moistened photographic prints.

[5][6] In 1980, she was interviewed for Kalliope, a journal of women's art and literature, which published a spread of her photographs.
