Hennessa, Eve

Eve Hennessa is a Washington, DC based painter. She has her MFA from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Academia de San Carlos, UNAM. She has an upcoming exhibition (2009) in the Dissident Display Gallery of the Katzen Center. Selected 2008 exhibitions include: Gallery 138 (NYC) and the Mexican Cultural Institute (DC). Selected permanent collections include: HELA Spa (Georgetown) and the Museum of Mexican Visual Arts (Mexico). Hennessa’s work is colorful, ephemeral and prophetic. She starts a painting with a good soak in the tub and relishes in the natural effects on the paper. Next she begins doodling and then the painting/drawing takes on a life of it’s own. She channels the invisible world and lets the biomorphic forms exude from her brush and hands during her organic process.
