Eve Bayer

"Eve Bayer is an artist living and creating in Ladue, Missouri. Having retired from a non-art professional career, she now devotes her time to both making art and actively supporting the visual arts in Saint Louis. Having formally studied visual art at Washington University in Saint Louis, and more recently at the School of Visual Arts in New York, her artwork practice has evolved from drawing and painting, to textured, expressionistic, layered compositions reflective of nature, myth, and human experience. Eve approaches her works purposefully, combining drawings and paintings, printmaking, encaustic and repurposed art materials, with organic

materials and fibers, which she then marks, layers, and adds to and subtracts from with studied intention. The resulting works, which are both highly expressionistic and deeply personal, serve as a visual diary of the artist’s consciousness and history; however, the artist prefers her works to be interpreted through viewers’ own experiences, histories and emotions. Bayer’s works have shown in galleries in New York, Detroit and her hometown of Saint Louis, and are currently held in private collections throughout the country.
