Eve Stockton’s woodcut prints are inspired by close observation of nature
and an eclectic interest in science. While her print subjects might seem
familiar at first, such as the woods and seascapes of Nova Scotia, closer
observation reveals an intentional tension between representation and
abstraction. Her imagery is often rendered to suggest dualities, such as
order/chaos and monumental/microbial. She likes to uses her 3’x3’ prints as modules to build larger images.
Eve Stockton has a multifaceted background in architecture and art,
having studied both architecture and fine arts at Princeton and Yale. Once a registered architect, she worked for Keyes, Condon, Florance & Associates in DC, Cesar Pelli and Associates in New Haven and Davis Body and Associates in Manhattan.
Long a full-time artist/printmaker focusing on woodcuts, Stockton is the
winner of many art awards. Her artwork has been regularly featured on the cover of Nature Genetics Magazine. She has recently exhibited her work at the National Academy of Science, Keck Center and at the National Institutes of Health. She actively exhibits her prints in East Coast and West Coast galleries. In addition, she has had one-person exhibitions in Nova Scotia and Ireland. Her prints are in museum, corporate, hospital, university and private collections. She lives with her husband in Alexandria, VA.
