Eve Stockton

Like artists through the ages, I make nature-based art. My work is often a distillation of the natural world observed and the primordial world imagined. How does one capture the evanescent clouds, the light through the trees or the bursting forth of new life? My large-scale print images are an attempt to explore just such phenomena. My standard 3’ x 3’ format allows me the flexibility to use the prints modularly as in my 4-panel Ensemble: Clouds & Seascape.

Once a registered architect, I now focus on large-scale, woodcut prints. In 2021, my Woodland Skyscape – var. 120 entered the Library of Congress. My artwork has been regularly featured on the cover of Nature Genetics Magazine. My prints are in museum, corporate, university, hospital and private collections. I live with my husband in Alexandria, VA and have a summer studio on the tip of Nova Scotia.
