Eva Glock

Hello, I’m Eva Glock. I’m a visual artist from Texas. When I’m not painting, I enjoy

spending time outdoors with my husband and young son. We have so many inspiring

surroundings that encourage me to paint. Recently, my painting 'Spring Winds' was sent

to Tanzania, Africa for an Embassy Exhibition with the U.S. Department of State's Art in

Embassies Program. I was thrilled to have the curators and Ambassador Wright select

my work. In describing my work, expressive use of color and form are hallmarks in my

paintings. I attempt to translate my view of the landscapes I encounter into serene

moments frozen in time. I pull from a regional diction which reflects both where I am

from and my broader experience. I grew up seeking, drawing, and exploring within the

Texas Hill Country. In college, I studied behavioral science and multi-disciplinary fine

arts which suited my need for reflection, making, and context. As my work has

developed, I’ve learned to embrace, and trust applied observation. I draw inspiration

from spending time outdoors and absorbing the rhythms of nature. In some of my series

of paintings, I use abstraction with color blocks to ground the landscape and in some

pieces I work to achieve a sense of reduced realism. Representational and recurring

themes in my paintings include horizon lines and the architecture of nature. I hope that

my work evokes an emotion or memory in the viewer as I try to share a moment of

peaceful reflection. My work is also on display at Austin City Hall in Austin, Tx. I've won

awards in juried competitions and have been published in Southwest Arts Magazine.
