The Visionary Art of Minnie Evans
On View April 4th - October 4th, 2026
Generous support for The Visionary Art of Minnie Evans provided by Art Bridges
The Visionary Art of Minnie Evans features mixed media artworks and ephemera from the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, North Carolina by Minnie Evans. Born in 1892, Evans pursued art later in life following a vision in which she was told to “draw or die.” Deeply religious, she believed that God occupied the flora and fauna that surrounded her and often imagined a “lost world” following the events of the Great Flood from the Book of Genesis. While working as a gatekeeper at Airlie Gardens in Wilmington, she took inspiration from the botanical surroundings, often decorating the gates around the gardens with her artwork for visitors to purchase. Through her depictions, she combined the world around her with her dreams and visions, revealing an alternate reality where humans mingled amongst spirits, plants and animals, and the omnipresent eye of God. Her work shows a devotion to a higher power, present among all living things, and encourages us to consider the ways in which our own histories affect the ways in which we move through our lives.
