Hi! 👋 I’m Eve. 😊 Here are some things I do.

make colorful paintings

“The Goddess Iris.” Tall, upwards-striving, carrying her own rainbow and one of her dead or wounded. I knew she had to have rainbow colors before I knew she was carrying an actual rainbow. “The Smell of Rain.” More creosote, a dozen cactus creatures I couldn’t help including, and changing stormy skies. Desert paradise. “Creosote Celebration.” I love it when I walk out (usually a bit after it rains) and find the desert has turned yellow. “Hearts and Rabbits.” At an artist talk I went to recently, the presenter said something disparaging about “prickly pear art.” As a lowly cactus artist, I took the remark as a challenge - and fell in love with the prickly pear, which I’d never drawn before. (It’s incredible just how many different kinds of spiky stick figure people you can find in the desert!) So thank you, anonymous artist, for giving me a new subject to love. “The Headless Puppeteer.” I started with the cholla, which had all sorts of creatures in it, then couldn’t help putting in all the background details, which obscure the creatures a little. Seems fitting for a drawing made while trying to find a balance between my attachments to nature and to people. @madeintucsonmarket Happening right now! I’ve been showing and selling more art over the past couple months than I’m used to - which means I’m struggling to keep up with promoting everything I do… So here’s another one: the Made in Tucson market @madeintucsonmarket is happening TOMORROW, 10 am - 5 pm! Just picked up the drawing in the photo from a cafe in Phoenix, where it had been hanging - so it’s the first time Tucson gets to see it and its companion. And there are a bunch of new drawings fresh from Sabino Canyon too. Hope you can make it! “At Home Among the Leaves.” The day after Bear Wallow, we beat the crowds and left for Marshall Gulch Trail early in the morning. Hiking through blessed silence, I found this maple, declared “I live here now,” and disappeared under the leaves for several hours (see if you can spot me in the last photo…) It felt like a return to childhood, to days of playing house among the trees. I wasn’t expecting to tackle the leaves one by one - I thought I’d be making something more grownup and abstract - but I loved the particularities of shadows on individual leaves and couldn’t stop myself. I’m taking part in Tucson Open Studios this weekend, starting at 4 pm today! My real studio is the great outdoors, but when I do make art inside, it’s in this little living room surrounded by plants. Drop by to see me paint, maybe buy an artwork or a postcard, or hang out with the hummingbirds, flowers, and mountain views on my balcony. And there’s a really cool app called Toureka which lets you see all participating artists on a map - some screenshots attached. @artsfoundtucson
