[1] Evans' work explores the environmental impact of humans on the landscape in the American Midwest and is notable for aerial perspective photos of prairies.
Early in her career, Evans began to take on photojournalistic work consisting of mostly mundane subjects of interest to her, documenting poverty, farmers, her own family, and the residents of her hometown.

[8] Inspired by the work of painter George Caleb Bingham and his paintings of Missouri River scenes, Meet Me at the Trinity focuses on the activities and events that take place along the site such as fishing, swimming, concerts and festivals.
[10] The retrospective consisted on 100 photographs from Evans, ranging from early black and white portrait work starting in 1971, to the recent colorful images of aerial landscapes.
