Evan is devoted to the pursuit of organic form in the built environment. As a creator with a background in sculpture and installation art, he approaches landscape design as an opportunity to collaborate with a host of species and vibrant materials to transform outdoor spaces into unique experiences of place that elicit wonder, and a sense of beauty in one's surroundings. As an artist and designer, he values the sense of discovery that comes through site-specific research and generative processes that unfold novel systems of creative output.   

Evan was raised in Lakeland Florida, and learned an appreciation for gardening from his grandmother and by playing in gardens around his family’s historic home adjacent to Frank Loyd Wright’s Florida Southern campus. He studied sculpture and contemporary art at The University of Florida where he led the planting of a temporary community garden in the School of Art’s common area while interning at an organic farm outside of town. Evan ran a collaborative installation art space for six years called The Church of Holy Colors, hosting public events within immersive art experiences in downtown Gainesville, while completing various public and private art commissions. He went on to earn an MFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University where he taught for three years before returning to Gainesville to build Pulp Gardens, his first major foray into landscape design. His experience as a professional artist lends familiarity with a breadth of materials, building methods, and a trained-eye sensitive to site, space, and composition.
