About the Artist 

Zeal Eva is a visual storyteller who celebrates the Black experience through artworks that bring to life a nostalgic feeling of home. Through the mediums of photography, painting, illustration, and sculpture, Zeal Eva explores the intersections of the natural world and the built environment to highlight shared Black experiences and document present moments in time. The artists’ process is deeply impacted by her surroundings including the individuals in the community and the places in which she works. Her artwork often includes organic forms such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, as well as interior spaces which reveal themes of growth, comfort, and discovery. Traces of the artists’ hand seen through the inclusion of painterly brushstrokes and vintage inspired portrait staging remind viewers of the sentimental moments in our lives.
