About Ev Hales

EV HALES Born in Melbourne, Australia, Ev's lifelong affair with art is an integral part of her life. Whether in her own unique work or as an art tutor or mentor a love of personal expression is evident in all she does. Starting as a Secondary Art and Craft teacher, majoring in Printmaking, she is a full time artist with some specific teaching stints during the year.

Artistically, Ev's work covers a variety of mediums mostly in the painting and printmaking areas. Watercolour has an enduring fascination with the capricious nature of this medium. A recent return to printmaking has allowed techniques and skills from different mediums to come together with a clarity that is exciting. Her monotypes or monoprints are particularly evocative.

Combine this sense of design and her understanding of translucent colour and you have an artist with a breadth of skills at her fingertips.

She has won many prizes for her paintings and has had articles published in a variety of magazines, including Australian Artist, Art Streams. Her latest publication is the hard cover book "Ev Hales - A Work In Progress" which charts over four decades of her work - an inspiration for all.

She is a valued demonstrator and teacher working all around Australia and overseas. Ev’s works can be seen at Panoply Gallery, 1418 Malvern Rd., Glen Iris. www.panoplygallery.com.au.
