In this exciting new

contrasting perspectives.

moments of stillness and
complete calm. The result

of the life that is always
around us.

In her solo exhibition Eva returns to
the Hop with her latest collection of
new paintings.
Sometimes in everyday life, you
look out of the window; that is my
inspiration. Sunsets, sunrises, people
walking by; it’s all there to be seen.
Nature’s wonders, the sea and the
music still remain my true influences
as well as the work of artists like
Miro, Pollock and other abstract
painters. It is a constant challenge
and endeavour. This is just a beginning.
Eva a member of the Sussex
County Art Club, has received
worldwide commissions and has
work in private collections
