Eva E. Foldy

Richmond, VA

I was raised in the Midwest and have since lived in cities across the continental U.S., each leaving its own trace in my paintings. My work glimpses narratives of personal, political, and climate anxiety and the sometimes-fruitful search for hope. In that search, I turn with reverence toward the natural and material worlds of the regular, the overlooked, and the quietly enduring.



Through paintings of dream-like, invented scenes and environments, I explore the tension between fear and tenderness - the quiet but urgent desire to connect with one's surroundings and the vulnerability to threat that connection requires. Violence and grief are often present, yet moments of peace and beauty persist, if we can bear to keep looking.
