Rhianne Evans

About / Education

Working in paint, yarn and textiles.

A little about Rhianne.

Art has always been my language, evolving from my early days as a photographic artist into a multifaceted exploration of creativity.

Crochet became my medium almost by accident. I began to “paint” with yarn. This unexpected path led to the creation of expressive portraits that bridge the gap between craft and art.

My work moves between media, driven by curiosity, emotion and the desire to push beyond the ordinary.
