Evas practise lies within the sculptural field, her artwork inspired by dualities in nature and the inherent qualities of porcelain clay. She works with repetitive forms constructing complex pieces with great attention to detail.

Eva has been awarded many major grants and scholarships, among others from the Swedish national Endowment for the Arts. Her artwork can be found in the collections of Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and the Röhsska  Museum of Craft and Design in Gothenburg.
