Eve Werner is an award-winning painter whose work explores natural subjects that have personal significance.  She is known for her vivid use of color and values in expressively painted figurative work.  Werner says:

“Although my pieces begin with planning and forethought, they really come to life as paint, colors, and values interact.  I enjoy working quickly, building several layers in each session.  This continuity encourages the interplay between opposites - conscious/subconscious, planned/spontaneous, physical/emotional and real/abstract - that gives the final piece its drama.”

Werner is influenced by a variety of modernist and expressive artists, including the Bay Area Society of Six.  She has studied painting in the Lake Tahoe and Mendocino coast areas of California since 1995, favoring subjects with underlying personal symbolism.  When not painting, Werner relishes life in northern California with her family and practices landscape architecture.
