Evelin Bodfish Bourne was born in Wareham, Massachusetts on July 10, 1892. At three months old, she was taken to NYC where her father, William Parker Bodfish was a successful artist and illustrator. Bodfish exhibited his paintings at the National Academy of Design in the 1880’s and following in her father’s footsteps, Evelin studied for six years at the school there. Bourne received an Honorable Mention for her work in painting in 1912, for her work in the Still Life School in 1913, and was awarded the Suydam Bronze Medal in 1914.
Following her marriage in 1918 to John Knowles Bourne, Evelin moved back to Wareham and ultimately settled in Buzzards Bay. Many of her paintings feature the flowers, vegetables, cats, farm animals and furniture at their Cape Cod home purchased by her husband in 1920. Starting in 1923, she exhibited her works at the Provincetown Art Association, where she developed a close friendship with artists, Blanche Lazzell and Dorothy Loeb. She continued to exhibit at the New York Water Color Society, the New York Water Color Club, the Baltimore Water Color Club, the Philadelphia Water Color Club and at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Bourne had one-person shows at the Macy Galleries in 1928 and at the Delphic Studios in 1933. She continued to exhibit her oils and watercolors in group shows at the Opportunity Gallery, G.R.D. Studio, Helen Hackett Gallery and Morton Gallery in New York City. From 1930 to 1940, Bourne showed with the Wayne Gallery at 794 Lexington Avenue, New York City. In Boston, she was represented by the Grace Horne Galleries and an oil was exhibited in 1938 at the Boston Institute of Modern Art. Evelin was one of the first members of the Boston Society of Independent Artists. Bourne continued to exhibit regularly at the Provincetown Art Association until her death in 1954.
