Bodell/Fahey – UMBRELLA ARTS is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Montreal-based artist Eva Richardson. The work of Eva Richardson bridges the gap between representation and abstraction through the exploration of subtle textures and atmospheres. Inspired by the transient nature of light, Echo includes a series of soulful and luminous paintings reminiscent of the subtle, vast and open skies of Newfoundland.

Eva Richardson has received grants and awards from the Quebec Council for the Arts, The Canadian-Scandinavian Foundation, The Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation and DuMaurier Arts and is the current recipient of the Shastri Institute Fellowship for the Arts. A passionate traveler, she has participated in artist residencies in remote parts of Sweden, Scotland, Newfoundland and northern Quebec. Eva’s paintings and photographs have been exhibited in galleries and museums in Canada and the United States and form part of numerous private and corporate collections.
