Evelyn Pence – Designer

Certified Medical Illustrator trained in scientific illustration with experience at Macmillian Learning and Pearson Education

Overview

Hello! I like to make difficult (complex, wonkish, uncomfortable, or even gross) subjects approachable, understandable and beautiful.

My goal is to amplify learning by enhancing your research, lessons or stories into engaging visuals. My style is clean and simple.

My process is to deliver first draft illustrations early in our collaboration that are close to the finished product so that you can make modifications and revisions without guess work. Most of the time I will get things very close on the first pass; but I enjoy and value the importance of reviewing and editing to get what it takes for accuracy and achieving just the right look and feel for your project.

I am formally trained with a Master's degree in biomedical illustration. A certification in medical illustration means that I complete required CEUs in art and science every year. My experience opening and running my own illustration studio in Kentucky for over 15 years has taught me to distill ideas into effective, creative visual communication for clients as diverse as science and medicine experts, corporate branding agencies, art directors, courtroom juries and students.

I can't say enough good things about working with Evelyn. As a second-time author, my publisher wanted illustrations for strength training exercises in my book. This is something I hadn't done before and didn't know what to expect or how the process would go. Evelyn made it so easy by creating im...

I feel very lucky to have found Evelyn to do the interior illustrations for my book. The images she came up with were as creative as they were beautiful. She managed to make the words she was illustrating come alive. One of my favorites was so clear, so focused, and so imaginative, I literally...

Evelyn did a great hob with my illustrations. Once we found what I was looking for she went right to work and made some great first drafts. I had around 12 illustrations of anatomy made for my book. Evelyn could get as simple or as detailed as you want. Most of mine were fairly simple, but sti...
