Carol Evans

Carol Evans was born in Vancouver and currently lives with her husband on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.  She is a self-taught artist, developing skills with watercolours over a period of thirty years.

Evans has had seventeen one-woman shows and participated in many group exhibitions. Her paintings reflect a reverent attitude towards the beauty of the British Columbia shoreline, as if to hold it up and say, “Look at this! Isn’t it magnificent, isn’t it exquisite, and aren’t we fortunate to have this ocean so full of life?” always in the hope that if we appreciate and love something, we’ll look after it. Her paintings have been published in the books West Coast: Homeland of Mist; Releasing the Light; and The Shores We Call Home. Evans’ work has achieved international acclaim and is represented in exhibitions and private collections worldwide.

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.

We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
