Through January 25, 2026

The Customs House Museum is presenting an exhibition of recent wildlife paintings by Tennessee artist Beverly Ford Evans, which she has subtitled “His Mercy Is Over All That He Has Made.”

After a successful career in interior design, Evans was inspired by Tennessee’s beauty to become a fine artist. As a member of the Volunteer State’s Chestnut Group of painters, she has relished capturing its countryside and has broadened her repertoire to encompass animals of various kinds.

She explains, “During my travels, I paint on location and strive to replicate the colors of a scene. I am constantly seeking out the critters, both great and small. Landscapes are beautiful in their own right, but for me, the animals and birds are part of what makes up the whole.”

Evans continues, “We live in a world that was created for us. I am in awe of the beauty, the wonder, the mysteries, and the diversity, not only in the landscape, but the creatures that live among us.”

This show is a key part of a busy season at the museum that also features the Tennessee artists Caney Hummon, Rachael McCampbell, and members of the Portrait Society of America who live in the state.
