ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Evaline—like "Evelyn", but you can call me Eve!
My path into art began with earning a BA in Architecture from Clemson University in 2010. After nearly a decade designing residential interiors, I started exploring other creative avenues. I dabbled briefly in digital design in 2019, and soon found my interest shift to drawing and painting. This led me to enroll in art classes at a local community art center and two semesters of mentorship at SmArt School.
My artistic journey took a another turn in 2022 when I discovered a love for paper art at one of Jessie Chui's paper flower workshops. A newfound passion for combining paper and fiber into art blossomed, leading to the creation of fibers in bloom in 2023 as a platform to share my work.
Thank you for your interest in my work—so glad you’re here!
When I'm not creating, you can find me hoarding—I mean, reading books, watching shows with my husband James, and trying to keep up with our cats, Aria and Bebop.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My art focuses on fiber and paper, engaging with techniques such as macramé, weaving, embroidery, and paper flower art. Inspired by floriography, the language of flowers, I carefully select paper botanicals that embody specific meanings.
Sustainability is also an important aspect of my practice—I prioritize natural, eco-friendly, and reused materials as much as possible. Through the combination of fiber and nature’s language, viewers are encouraged to contemplate and appreciate the natural world around us.
