Brian and Mary Evans are a well known Nottingham Irish couple, living on the outskirts of Nottingham. Each year they have an exhibition of their work prior and during the Nottingham City St Patrick’s Celebrations.

Brian and his wife Mary are associate members of the Nottingham Society of Artists and both work in watercolour oils and pastels.

Their work depicts the changing face of Ireland – its scenery history music and art with an overview of the humour and character of its people.
