20th-century African-American artist Minnie Evans lived her most productive years as an artist in the USA and began her career at the age of 43. Her dexterity lies in using the creative mediums of wax and crayon and usually portrayed her childhood vision and dreams in her intricately designed artworks. She often contributed as a southern folk artist, surrealist and as a visual artist and consisted human, animal and plant forms in the artworks. The visionary folk artist’s most famous works are titled as Design: Airlie Garden and My Very First and My Second and her collection can be viewed in the Museum of Modern Art, the American Folk Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and the High Museum of Art.
