Biographies > Evelyn Rymer

Although she was born in Walerville in Southern Ontario, she has lived most of her life in Timmins in Northern Ontario. Drawing and painting have been a favorite activity of hers since she was a child. She has taken many workshops, painting holidays and art courses at Northern College to improve her skills and increase her knowledge of art. Occasionally she uses acrylic and oil paints, but watercolours are her favorite medium for landscapes and floral studies. She has had several solo and joint exhibitions and has had her work shown in many juried shows.

Being an artist in northern Ontario.  I value the care and advice among artists from various northern communities.  The willingness to share knowledge and techniques and the friendships have encouraged me to keep painting.  I have always considered painting a real pleasure, a bit therapeutic and sometimes, but not always, satisfying.
