Eva Shipley is a painter and fiber artist based in Reno, Nevada who likes taking things apart and putting them back together. She works mainly with oil paint to create paintings that exist in both two-dimensional space and three-dimensional space, exploring the relationship that images and objects have with each other. Shipley also spends time experimenting with art forms traditionally viewed as “craft,” like quilting, beading, mosaic, and embroidery, and incorporates them into her work. Shipley considers the finished products of these methods to be “paintings.”

Shipley is currently working towards a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Nevada, Reno, and has been featured several times in the University’s art and literary magazine, “Brushfire.” Shipley is currently creating a body of work that focuses on her own interactions with textiles, and their influence on her life.
