Bring freedom, connection, and flow to your mixed media art.

I have taken many online classes and yours is the first one in which I actually found the path to painting from stillness and quiet. I am so grateful for your soft touch and artistic skill.

(Before this course) I would feel afraid to even start a painting sometimes and that served as a block. This new way of working is transforming my practice and I am more productive and having more fun. Feels like exactly where I want to be.

I discovered that time is also a tool when art making - slowing down and pausing, I see what's inside of me, and that has an effect on how I layer. The professional videography transported me to a new location which inspired me to step out of the usual and to see with new eyes.

I was stuck doing more or less the same thing, working in encaustic and cold wax. Working with Eva led me to pencil, ink, acrylic paint and watercolour. Don't hesitate, just do it.

I spent more time scrolling than doing, often only to finally sit down to make art and feel inadequate with the results. Eva's guidance and techniques have helped me most importantly listen to my own voice.

I have been an artist a long time, exhibiting my work. Being stuck and unable to move forward in my art was devastating. This class helped me enormously gain that spark and inspiration back.

I was quite stressed before this course about finding a new way to make art. The last 2 years I have been experimented with abstract art without finding my way. Before that I mostly painted representational or semiabstract art and photography. I feel more content with my life, more into my body, and happy to know how to continue with my art. Let the paintings take time to make, so that I can listen to where they want to go.

I feel that after taking this course I am more confident in bringing these two disciplines together, whether that’s directly through writing poetry inspired by my artwork or vice versa, or using my poetic sense to inform my artistic expression. I’m also enjoying carving my own stamps again, something which I’d abandoned some time ago, and this is something I will be including in my practice more often now.

The greatest benefit for me was discovering a new way to see and connect with the familiar places in my life, of finding ways to use different media with a purpose. I love bringing text into my artwork, and although this was just a small part of the overall artwork, I feel I have found a new way to connect with the world around me through poetry.This course will coalesce all the things you know, add more to your repertoire, and help it to make sense while inspiring you to do more.

Prior to enrolling on this course I was driven by having a clear composition when embarking on a work of art, I spent a lot of time playing with sketchpads and avoiding making “proper” art for this reason. Eva has shown me the fluidity between sketchbooks and larger are, and that both can be achieved by just letting art happen, so I have become more comfortable creating art without preconceived expectations.

I'm an artist since half a century or even longer, therefore I was already aware of many in this course so generously offered techniques and possibilities. But never before I used them with so much awareness, joy and care. Working with Eva made me more sensitive and Eva guided me even deeper into the spiritual aspects and poetry of my creative path, something I was searching for since quite a while!

Before I began this course, I had done some collage, but was overwhelmed by it. I didn't trust my choices. I was doing too much, worrying about combining fiber and paper. Watching Eva work in such a thoughtful, deliberate way, so tuned into her intuition, is very empowering.

My artistic practise had been sporadic for the past few years up until the time of my retirement last year. I enjoyed so much about Eva’s Poetry & Place course. The course and Eva’s lessons introduced me to so many different methods of exploration and experimentation with many materials that were new to me. Each lesson expanded on the previous, cumulating in a final project that can be explored over and over again.
