Minnie Evans: Draw or Die explores the inspirational life and artistic mastery of one of the most important American, visionary artists of the 20th century. Minnie Evans began drawing in 1935, compelled by dreams and the divine. The documentary — its title comes from a mysterious voice Evans heard asking, "Why don't you draw or die?" — coincides with a national resurgence of interest in Evans' work, with multiple touring museum exhibitions. This documentary amplifies Evans’s unique voice through archived conversations with her friend, photographer, and art representative, Nina Howell Starr. In these recordings, Evans reflects on her divine purpose and the unrelenting drive that led her to create an estimated 3,000 works—using crayon and other media on found and donated materials. Much of her art was produced in the small gatehouse at Airlie Gardens, where she worked for 27 years. Visually anchored in Evans’s vibrant compositions, the film weaves together archival imagery, Nina Starr’s photography, and sweeping views of the sunrises and coastal landscapes that inspired her.
