 James Evans has been photographing the people and landscape of the Big Bend and across its borders  since 1988. He opened his own Evans Gallery in 1990, and has become the longest established photographer and gallery owner in this area. Evans Gallery is located in Marathon, Texas, four doors east of the Gage Hotel, between Front Street Books and The Trans Pecos Bank.  It serves to display his own work and the handmade jewelry and belts of Paul Wiggins of Terlingua.

Store hours are 10 am to 6 pm most days. James may be in town but rarely hangs out at the gallery.  Usually he is working in the darkroom or shop and can be easily found.  If you call ahead at 432-386-4366  or email at  jameshevans@sbcglobal.net   he will certainly try to meet with you.  Also, someone at the bookstore will always let you in or you can go to the French Company Grocer just around the corner  and a half a block North.  Find Marci Roberts to let you in.

James work has appeared in many national magazines. His work is displayed in collections at The Museum of Fine Art, Houston, The Harry Ransom Center, Austin, The Beaumont Museum of Art, The Longview Museum of Fine Art, The Art Museum of South Texas, The El Paso Museum of Art, The Southwest Texas Writers and Photography Collection as well as many private collections.
