Two Paintings by Evette Twyford

December 1, 2025

Evette Twyford is an artist and Urantia Book reader residing in Colorado. Of her work she says:

“The art form I primarily engage in may be referred to as ‘action painting,’ a type of abstract expressionism. Commonly mixing oil and acrylics onto canvas or other surface, pouring and/or brushing the paint, sometimes using a combination of spatula, ink roller, natural sponge, and other tools to spread and often ‘throw’ paint, usually circling around the canvas. Occasionally I may tilt or even shake the canvas. My work is frequently noted as having an ethereal appearance. Interpreted images include shooting stars, galaxies forming, landscapes, seascapes, beings, or pathways. Perhaps a particular emotion comes into play, and draws my attention to relate this by combining specific colors. In essence, I create in an attempt to portray something eternal, something revealed in my mind’s eye. When I am thus engaged, I feel as though the Original Artist is attempting to express through me.”
