PHOTOGRAPHY

Eve begin to get steady photography work. She soon decided to focus more on shooting than editing alone. Yet, it’s her background in editing that gives her photography it’s signature look and feel.
ART
In 1999, while living in Philly, Eve befriended a young Art History student named Dana "Pookie" Hernandez , who introduced her to the formal world of Art. She became a student of many modern and classical art movements, particularly les Nabis, Fauvism and other post-impressionistic styles. This fueled her own desire to create, and to form her own aesthetic. She was heavily influenced by the work of Jean Paul Goude with Grace Jones. “The first time I saw the Nightclubbing album cover, it stopped me in my tracks I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so arrestingly beautiful and BLACK!!! I’m always seeking to give people that experience when they view my work! It’s a goal I may not ever achieve but I’m always aiming for that.” She explores and exposes the beauty and power that can be derived from contrasting perspectives and opposing points of view. She’s very comfortable in the Afro-Futurism realm as it contains two of her many passions, the cosmos, and Black-ness!
