Evan Wilson's love affair with exotic textiles started as a young art student studying the "Old Masters" such as Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, and van Dyck, as well as many of the great Italian masters like Michelangelo and Leonardo. While emulating these artists, Wilson became fascinated with their ability to capture the metallic glint of a button, or the intricate detail in the clothes worn by royalty in their portraits.
