Evelyn Markasky Resume

EDUCATION

Evelyn earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture Youngstown State University in 1978. She has continued her art education throughout her adult life by taking workshops led by award-winning enamel and metal artists such as Deborah Lozier, David’s Bigazzi, Meghan Corwin, Judy Stone, Sarah Loertscher, Kat Cole and Andrew Kubeck.

Style

Evelyn works in various metals and uses vitreous enamels sometimes for their colors, but mostly as a patina adding texture and an aged effect to her pieces. She adds and embeds many unusual things into her enamels like foils, salts, glass, steel wire, graphite... and finds ways to incorporate the images she has been obsessed with for many years. She uses these techniques with her metalworking skills to create artful jewelry and wall pieces.
