Charley Brown and Mark Evans started Evans & Brown over twenty years ago. They modeled Evans & Brown as a modern day atelier in the tradition of Rubens and David. The focus has always been designing and painting high quality murals, trompe l'oeil and special effects for residential and commercial projects.

Evans & Brown is known for its command of classical technique. Classical technique can be defined as combination of natural ability with extensive training in the essential traditional skills and craft of art. Everyone who works in the Evans & Brown studio must be able to paint like Raphael one day and Rothko the next. This ability combined with a thorough knowledge of art history have given them the freedom and versatility to execute work that is theatrical yet highly sensitive to the meaning and purpose of each project.

Evans & Brown is a "hands on" operation. Every project is designed by either Mark Evans or Charley Brown and is executed by Charley and a small staff of painters who are accomplished artists in their own right.

Evans & Brown has worked all over the world. Their work can be seen in projects as diverse as the Pompeiian style frescos in the American Embassy in Cyprus to the surrealistic fantasy of the Pan-Pacific Hotel in Yokohama to the 18th century Italian frescos of the Monadnock Building in San Francisco to the Forties-style tribute to film production at Sony Entertainment in Culver City. Several years ago Evans & Brown introduced a line of printed fabrics, hand made wallcoverings and vinyl wallcoverings that extend the Evans & Brown sensibility to products that are available to designers everywhere.
