Evan
Blondell was born in Sodus
, N.Y., a small township located on the shoreline of
Lake Ontario in the Western region of
New York State. He
discovered art at four years old when he drew a blue jay at preschool.
Even at that young age, it became clear that Evan had not only a
passion, but also an extraordinary talent as an artist. Evan earned a
B.F.A. in Sculpture and a B.A. in Art History from SUNY Potsdam in 2006.
During his collegiate experience at Potsdam, he was the Vice
President of the Student Art Association, a member of the Kappi Pi Honor
Society, and exhibited work in several juried shows.
For
one year, beginning in the Fall of 2006, Evan shared his talents working
as an Art Instructor for people with intellectual and developmental
disabilities at St. Lawrence NYSARC in
Northern N.Y. Prior to that
position, he worked in Washington D.C. for the U.S. General Services
Administration as an Intern for the Design Excellence Program; a
multi-billion dollar program. Evan
was honored as a winner of the 2006
International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Achievement in
Contemporary Sculpture and exhibited his piece, "Lawn Mower," for
six months at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton,
N.J.
In
2007, Evan was awarded a grant to begin post-bachelor studies in
Sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago.
