Artist Profile: Laura Evans

Laura Evans has lived in South Lyon for over 20 years with her husband, two sons and dog.  She lives in the downtown area where she is active in the community, including at the library.  Much of her time in South Lyon has been spent working as an artist/Illustrator.  Her works can be seen locally in such places as the window mural at Dr. Garren’s office (orthodontist) and at Aleko’s carry-out.  She also illustrated the children’s book Aleko’s uses to raise money for their various charities.  More recently, Laura decided to make a career change and went back to grad school at Wayne State for a degree in Library Science to pursue her second passion - books, and therefore libraries.

“I really enjoyed creating this header for the library website.  The project combined all three of my interests, art, libraries, and technology.  The illustrations are a seasonal theme; spring/summer, fall, and winter .”
