Imogen Eve acknowledges the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which she lives.
Independent artist and formally trained designer, Imogen Eve predominantly works with oil paints, watercolours and textiles. Her practice continues and playfully expands upon the lineage of still life painting, whilst experimenting with different techniques. Eve’s paintings are multi-layered explorations of life and motherhood through objects, flowers and collections. Eve is interested in the stories that celebrate the everyday, the domestic and the mundane, recording an intimate history.
