About the Artist

 Eva Trout  

    Eva Trout is a visual artist currently working in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area where she  lives with her husband and two children. She was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.  After receiving and attending Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts program scholarship, Eva graduated with a Bachelors Degree of Fine Arts from Tyler School of Art, Temple University in 1987 with a major in Painting, Drawing and Sculpture.  Eva completed missions training, a school of choreography and dance, and served as a missionary with Youth With A Mission.

     For the past twenty years Eva has worked as a professional artist, art teacher and coordinator of creative ministries in a variety of settings. She has traveled globally on short term mission outreaches to Guatemala, Finland, Amsterdam, the USSR and Canada, working in the arts with youth who live in poverty. She has taught art to children of all ages and she was the director of art programs both in Philadelphia, PA and abroad.  Eva and her husband currently serve as the Directors of Missions at their church, Covenant Church of Pittsburgh.

     Eva works in her own studio with a variety of mediums and exhibits her art nationally. Her processes of making art have been influenced by German Expressionism, Cubism, African art, and Fauvism as well as the colors and tactile influences of the cultures with whom she’s been among. The age of computer generated colors along with an insatiable appetite for the beauty of Central American cultures ignites her palette choices. Of all the elements that Eva chooses to work with, she is by far most driven to communicate through color. For her, color is one of the most natural languages that communicates spiritual dimensions without the necessity of literal interpretation.
