Painter, designer and printmaker, born and died in Swansea, south Wales. After leaving school at 14 Evans became an apprentice tinplate printer at South Wales Canister’s works, eventually becoming their chief designer after attending lessons part-time from 1910 at Swansea School of Art. Showed RCamA, SWG, SWAS and elsewhere and was given a memorial show at Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea in 1958, a dozen years after his one-man exhibition there. That gallery and National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, hold his work which was frequently landscapes of the Swansea area in watercolour.
