About
Evangeline Thyme is a British Artist living in the Kent countryside, the calm landscape offers a gentle balance to the story telling that is developed through lots of layers of thin paint.
Her work celebrates women who inspire - women with presence, story and strength. Drawing influence from literature, dance, fashion, and material texture, her paintings explore the layers of identity and what it means to her.
Guided by an interest in psychology and human connection, Evie’s portraits evoke both intimacy and intrigue. Each figure seems caught in a moment between thought and expression - an inner life glimpsed through gesture, colour and light.
Her paintings invite the viewer to feel rather than simply observe - to connect, reflect, and perhaps see part of themselves within the work. Evangeline’s work speaks to collectors who are drawn to paintings with substance, presence and soul. Each piece is designed to make a statement and spark connection.
Artist Statement
My paintings are born from a fascination with people - their emotions, their contradictions, their quiet moments of truth. I paint women who feel real, with something to share: strength, mystery, courage, vulnerability.
Each piece begins with a narrative - a feeling, a passage of text, a rhythm of movement - and grows through layers of oil paint that reveal and conceal in equal measure. I’m inspired by the worlds of literature, dance, fashion and material - all the ways we expresss and protect who we are.
Psychology and human connection lie at the heart of my work. I’m drawn to that fleeting, unguarded instant when the outer image slips and the inner self comes into view. Through my art, I hope my work invites others to pause, to feel, and to connect - not just to the figure on the canvas, but with something within themselves.
