Eva Shae - 12" x 16" oil on canvas. Commissioned.







"Likes to draw."  This was the note sent home with me on my first day of Kindergarten. That passion has remained with me to this day.

I enjoy painting in my spare time. In 2004, on a whim, I took up oils (I had never painted before). In 2008, I added acrylics to my painting mediums. My subjects include portraits of beloved pets, water scenes, and nature. My portrait work has been described as "whimsy with a spark of soul." I've also begun teaching painting classes at a local retirement comunity.

A native of Durham, North Carolina, I've made Raleigh my home since 1994, where I live with my husband Rob and our menagerie of pets.

Exhibitions: The Colony Theatre, Raleigh, NC - 2007, and Earthfare Foods, Raleigh, NC, - 2008.

Notable Mentions: Portrait of Princess Diana published in the book "Diana in Art" - 2007.

Juried accepted entry into the North Carolina Museum of Art event "Art of the Auction" - 2013.
