Eve Howard is an artist using various media. She is a painter, a printer, and for the moment she is finding best expression through ceramic sculpture. People connect directly and immediately with Eve's work. Her poetic pieces resonate with sincerity, warmth, simplicity and a perfection of line and form.
One of Eve's major and ongoing explorations is birds, in particular the sea birds that live around Tasmania. The joyous nature of Eve's work has ensured that it takes off from this remote beautiful island and travels the world, creating a connection with people that is global.
Eve takes inspiration from many sources - including the clay she works with. It's very name is an inspiration. Raku is a Japanese word meaning "joy, joyful, enjoy, fun" and the rich, red, earthy body of the clay creates a rough hewn look, contrasting and augmenting the smooth dynamic that is characteristic of her work.
