Evan Lindquist creates original prints in his private studio in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He taught art, printmaking and drawing at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro for forty years and retired from ASU in 2003.

Most of Lindquist's prints are engravings, developed from his own original ideas and designs. Using a traditional engraver's burin, he engraves his ideas into copper plates. He prints the plates in the traditional process of intaglio printing.

At ASU, he was named Outstanding Faculty Member and appointed First Chairman of the President’s Fellows in 1981. In 2004, he received the Arkansas Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award and Emporia State University's Distinguished Alumni Award.

A native of Kansas, Lindquist earned the Master of Fine Arts degree from The University of Iowa, where he studied with Mauricio Lasansky. He received the BSE degree at Emporia State University.

His prints may be seen in many public collections in the United States and other countries. Lindquist has had more than 60 solo exhibitions and has received more than 60 awards in competitive exhibitions.

Lindquist's subjects have explored diverse kinds of content, including strings, labyrinths, academe, portraits, satire, documents, and other themes. [See the prints] Various works have been described as satire, analytical, metaphysical, and as metaphors of the mind. His process of copper plate engraving derives from ancient techniques of goldsmiths and armor makers. Outstanding artist-printmakers who used this creative process were Lasansky, Gabor Peterdi, S.W. Hayter, Albrecht Dürer, Lucas van Leyden, Claude Mellan, William Hogarth, Rembrandt, and many others.
