About the Artist
Using a combination of found-object assemblage, collage, painting, and drawing, I create large format two-dimensional works, sculptures, and installations that visually and thematically highlight shortcomings in education.
Evan Rumble (he/him/his) is a Pittsburgh-based mixed-media artist and art educator. He has experience teaching art to youth and adults, in and out of the classroom. Evan has taught in rural, suburban, and urban schools predominantly focusing on studio arts, animation, and ceramics.

He has partnered with arts organizations and schools to host artists-in-residence in classrooms.
