During her lifetime she drew an estimated 3000 pictures using crayon and other media on found and donated materials. Evans’s paintings and drawings are in the collections of prominent art museums\, yet she’s not widely recognized. \nThe film lifts the unique voice of self-taught artist Minnie Evans from conversations between Evans and photographer\, Nina Howell Starr.  Preserved in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art archives\, their taped discussions from the ’60’s-70’s reveal a loving friendship and Minnie’s resiliency. Grounded in the compositions and forms she produced\, the film’s visuals will employ archival images\, Nina Starr’s black and white photography along with the gardens and coastal landscapes that inspired Minnie’s work.
