Eve was born a month after the new millennium in Herne Hill, southeast London. Growing up, she had a penchant for creating her own fantasy worlds and would disappear into them for hours with the aid of books and dolls.

As she grew up, this fascination transmuted onto the face and she began to cultivate a keen interest in beauty. She loved how different adornments could completely alter an individual’s perception of themselves and that of others, and how make-up could be used as a tool to express a momentary mood or the deepest facets of an individual’s identity.

She went on to study BA Hair and Make-Up for Fashion at London College of Fashion, which she graduated from with First Class Honours. It was during this time that she was exposed to London subculture - her participation in this scene allowed her to delight in how rave-goers and club kids were able to transcend the mundanities of everyday life and use make-up and attire to transform into their truest selves, or into someone else entirely in a hallowed space of complete self-expression and freedom.

Asides from her beloved moody south London, Eve’s work is also deeply influenced by her matrilineal Irish heritage. Its folkloric traditions and the gothic romance of its landscapes have imbued Eve’s work with an alternate cultural perspective which she often draws from.

Eve is inspired by fairy tales, porcelain dolls, mythology, fetish, antiquities of bygone eras, rave, Victorian mourning rituals, the films of Wong Kar-Wai, anime and Americana.

These days, she works full time painting faces across fashion and film, and has been published in Polyester Zine, CHECKOUT Magazine and Vogue Italia. When she isn’t crouched over the make-up chair in trancelike and meticulous concentration, she can be found working her way through her book and film list (of which there are hundreds), frequenting art galleries, scouring antique markets and trying to finally master Ableton.
