Eve Perry has been very busy recently! Within the last two months Eve has:

• Had a picture accepted into the Energen Art Exhibit in Birmingham
• Had two pictures in the Alabama Wild Life Exhibit
• Judged the Piney Woods Art Festaval in Enterprise
• Won second place in the Nightingale exhibit at the AUM school of nursing
• Had a demonstration on "how to start a portrait bust in clay" for the Elmore County Art Guild.
• Has just returned from the National Portrait Society's three day workshop in Dallas in which the most famous portrait artist in the world demonstrated their talents.

Eve Perry earned an undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and a Master's Degree from Auburn. She has taught art on the kindergarten, high school and college levels, and at the Armory Learning Art Center of Montgomery. She began studying painting and design with Charles Shannon, painting in oils in the early 1970's. Later, she started working with clay and pottery, and then went on to acrylics, which she continues to find especially challenging and interesting to work with.

She has studied with Alvin Sella, Henry Hensch, Wallace Bassford, and Robert Brackman of the Art Student's League of New York City. Her personal style has been influenced by both impressionistic and expressionistic styles. She is particularly drawn more to color and light harmonies rather than to realism. Over the years, she has exhibited in many juried shows, accumulating numerous ribbons and awards. Her work is on display in SAC's Gallery and Gallery One in Montgomery.
