Eva Thiemann Announces Three Art Exhibits

Alaskan Brown Bear, original oil painting by Eva Thiemann

Artist Eva Thiemann is best known for her stunning oil paintings of Alaskan bears set in rich, abstract landscapes. Thiemann holds a degree from the Academie of Art and a Biology degree from the University of Riga, Latvia. “When I came to Alaska from Latvia in 1997 I was overwhelmed by its beauty; I was able to observe Alaska’s magnificent brown bears, and painting them with Alaskan scenery became my passion. In 2003 I came to Applegate, Oregon.”

Though Alaskan Brown bears have been her mainstay for many years, more recently Eva began painting Great Gray Owls as well, to a very warm reception. Of her owl paintings, Thiemann says, “I started painting Great Grey Owls after observing these rare birds and their nests around Howard Prairie. My first owls were exhibited at the Mountain Bird Festival in Ashland few years ago.” (Editor’s Note: The first annual event was in 2014.) This month Eva Thiemann announces three art exhibits featuring her work. Please visit Eva’s listing at www.soartists.com for web links to see more of her work and contact info.
