Questions with Eva:

What drew you to begin creating art?

As most people do, I began creating art as a way to do something with my hands and get my toddler ideas out onto paper. It often got me in trouble.

Where did you get the inspiration for creating your art piece(s)?

I get lots of inspiration from nature and all things organic and in motion. This specific piece is a painting and partial study of a tailless whip scorpion, a beautiful and docile arachnid with a fascinating anatomy.

How do you see yourself contributing to the art community in the future?

I want to help take the stigma off of street art and bring art and color to every part of the city, regardless of "budget"

What do you want people to think when they see your art?

I want you to first see the noise, and then to distinguish every sound.

Outside of art, what are some of your hobbies and interests?

I enjoy physical activities such as hiking, weightlifting and wrestling. I also play video games and dabble in other art forms such as sewing.

How do you want to impact the world?

Through street art and concepts that the public isn't used to seeing.
