Currently Vice-president SLC Arts Board of Directors
I am a painter working primarily in watercolor. For the past ten years my passion has been for plein air landscape. Working directly from nature gives an unparalleled connection to my subjects. I enjoy the challenges presented by the fluid medium of watercolor. Working with it is a living dialog between artist and medium. As John Marin said you need to "let the paint be paint." One of my primary artistic goals is inspired by Miss Alice Rumphius who wanted to do something to make the world a more beautiful place.
Evelyne Verret is a visionary artist, Intentional Creativity® teacher, and transformational guide. Her work bridges the mystical and the deeply human. Through her intuitive painting process, she channels archetypal energies, symbolic imagery, and alchemical insight to invite viewers into a deeper dialogue with themselves. Each brushstroke becomes a portal, one that awakens, heals, and reconnects us to the parts of ourselves we’ve forgotten or left behind.
Evelyne’s work is rooted in the belief that creativity is a sacred act, and that art can be both a mirror and a medicine. Her signature style blends vivid colors, layered textures, and feminine archetypes that speak to the wild, wise, and wounded parts of the soul. As an artist-healer, she sees painting not just as visual expression, but as ceremony, a space to grieve, to reclaim, to celebrate, and to remember our wholeness.
Evelyne has guided hundreds of women through transformative painting journeys in her studio and online circles, helping them transmute doubt into confidence, silence into voice, and pain into purpose.
She is currently developing new offerings that blend intentional creativity, embodiment, storytelling, and sacred feminine wisdom to support others in returning to the essence of who they truly are, radiant, messy, powerful, and whole.

After the one-two punch of her father passing and the Coronavirus shutting down the world, Jessica started writing a new play, PHYSICS FROM MY FATHER as a way to connect with her beloved physicist dad. She hopes to mount a full production of it in 2026. Jessica is currently working on the short film, MEET CUTE IN THE CCU which started as a scene in PHYSICS FROM MY FATHER that she cut and then just couldn’t let go of.
