Individual personalities with their subtle nuances are Eva Crawford's focus as she paints or draws beautiful vessels of the human soul. Her art began at age three and hurdled its way through a BFA from UNC-Chapel Hill, taking a side trip designing furniture, then embracing an unexpected season teaching high school art where her greatest joy was coaching students to be confident and honest through their art-making. However, the students and her own 5 children, which include a son from Uganda, fueled the transformation of her art to be about humans and their stories. Eva's portraits are grounded in relationships with those we love, with those we feel compassion, and with those whom we do not yet understand.
Her work at times stretches beyond the depiction of the human form to the spiritual, sometimes manifesting itself in unexpected depictions of light and shadows. Yet, the human element is always present.
