Exhibitions
4 – 25 May 2008
Nua, 59 Ship Street, Brighton
So you think you know the Seven Deadly Sins? But do you know the punishments meted out to each of the sinners? The lustful are forced to writhe in flames for all eternity, the proud are crushed beneath heavy stones and the envious have their naughty covetous eyes sewn shut with wire. In an entirely new exhibition of work, Eve depicts each sin and its punishment in her irreverent illustrative style, incorporating typographic elements into each piece.

All about Eve
When I was three I painted a wizard and some other things I can’t remember and they ended up in an exhibition at Brighton Library.
In 1993 I went to live in France where I took up painting fish and drinking cheap gin all night instead of attending lectures about ancient Greek sculpture. Back in England I carried on painting for the next twelve years but it never occurred to me to show my work. Then one Christmas, I made a little kinky lady card for some friends in Brighton. They liked it a lot so I made my first kinky lady painting. Then another. And another. Until I had a collection I didn’t quite know what to do with. So I put them together into a show. It went well and I’ve been exhibiting and selling ever since.
An obsessive childhood compulsion with rearranging my parents’ furniture led inevitably to a two-year course in interior design. Now I get officially to nose around in other people’s houses and benevolently boss them about until they agree to all sorts of lovely things they’d never have thought of.
So people pay me money for painting pictures, dreaming up nice interiors and writing stories. This keeps me in paint and spangly eyeliner, which is good.
The work
If I could say it another way I’d be writing stories not painting pictures. See, look, interpret, imagine, take away what you will. Hopefully enjoy, appreciate and find your cultural world just a little bit happier for a moment or two.
All paintings are hand-painted, no two identical. Paints are high-pigment Golden or Liquitex acrylics, sealed with Golden polymer varnish for additional protection against chemicals, water and UV.
Kinky lady prints are available from Nua branches in Ship Street, Brighton and Manchester, Norwich and Birmingham (as well as by emailing me).
