Eva
was born in Denmark where she grew up on a farm in Jutland. She was
always interested in art, however, when Eva declared she wanted to
be an artist her father reminded her that there was a reason for the
expression "starving artist", and she decided to pursue other career
choices!
Originally
Eva started painting with watercolors because she wanted to be able
to paint little sketches as part of her travel journals when she
started going on kayak expeditions around the world about 5 years
ago.
Since
then Eva says she has completely fallen in love with this fluid and
expressive medium – it's always challenging, and she is constantly
learning new methods of expressing different moods and motifs.
Mainly nature – water – landscapes – flowers and birds inspire her.
She paint both plein air as well as in her studio – sometimes she
makes up scenes from her imagination, other times she try to convey
what she sees and feels.
Over
the last couple of years Eva has dedicated as much time as her busy
life allows exploring and learning from many different teachers and
mentors. She eagerly reads every book about art and painting she
comes across and she has taken workshops at Esalen, Mendocino Art
Center, Baja, Mexico, and of course from some of the great
instructors here on the Monterey Peninsula. |
