About the Artist

 

Evelyn Raiter, nationally known for her oil paintings of old barns and historic homes, paints a wide variety of rural landscapes.

 

Raiter was born in the farming community of Seward, Nebraska. This has influenced her desire to paint the fading American scene. Evelyn has elevated barn painting to a new paradigm. Each "gentle giant" is bathed in luminous light and beauty.

 

This Romeo artist began painting shortly after moving to Michigan in 1967. Her studio overlooks East Pond Creek in Bruce Township, northwest of Romeo.

 

Raiter has made a living as an artist for over 40 years. She is self-taught and believes that nature is the best teacher. This is why painting on location is so important. Although painting throughout the country, her emphasis is primarily on rural Michigan, focusing on Romeo and the surrounding srea. Evelyn has taught outdoor classes in landscape painting, given demonstrations, judged contests and won countless awards. 

 

Raiter has worked in several media, but her heart is with oil painting. Her work will be passed down for generations to come. It is her way of preserving our heritage for the future.
