My name is Eva (“Yevah” in Russian- my native language) and I am a Santa Cruz based artist, naturalist and teacher.
Some of my biggest passions in life are exploring my creativity with my hands, wandering through unknown terrains and teaching anything I find exciting.
Pottery became a part of my story in 2010 when I randomly signed up for a beginner throwing class at De Anza College. I have been absolutely hooked since.
My favorite means of creating is to sit down and make something I have never attempted to create before, hence my work features many unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. Having said that, I also have experience making sets and custom orders.
I am constantly inspired by my intimate connection to nature, the fine line between dream & waking life, and my deep emotions.
My work features a lot of bright colors and fun textures in hopes of spreading joy and magic through my art.

All of my pottery is microwave, oven and dishwasher safe.
