I print and paint on a variation of papers and collage them in layers onto canvas.

I have a large printing press in my studio. I will have work in various stages stacked up.

I am an artist who also loves to dig in the dirt. My studio overlooks the garden, in the growing season you find me either there or in the studio. Currently I am working towards a solo show at Foster White Gallery in Seattle.

Eva’s studio is not ADA compliant. The studio is above garage, enter through gate and stairs to studio is on the back of building. If it is raining, stepping stones leading to the back of studio might be slippery.
