Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to airy thinness beat.

Dear Dirk,
My condolences to you at this time. Eva will always be a very memorable person and I count myself fortunate to have a piece of her art hanging in my home.
She was so vibrant.
My best regards
Tony Nicholson
Dear Dirk,
We were saddened to hear of Eva’s passing. Please accept our sincerest condolences at this time of your bereavement.
Lin and John Richardson
What can we say? Eva was impressive in her soul and person, and monumentally unimpressed by self-made monuments. She never shrank from but shone like a shield against the medusas of the muse for her best beloved, and those she loved. There is turbulence and beauty in her art, a restless ravine of spirit like in the painting she gave me. I watch it on our living room wall as I read each morning, and I keep a weather eye on its storm of colour for when the memory of her returns, her face breaking through the web of days with a sublime defiance on her brow and a wild smile.
My sincere condolences, Derk. I enjoyed working with Eva in the studio very much, all those many years ago, and am so saddened to hear of her death.
My deepest condolences to you, Derk, and to Eva’s friends and family. I am so grateful Steve and I had a chance to spend some time with both of you last year. I will remember her every time I look at that vivid orange painting with the turquoise heart — I’m sure you know the one.
Eva
Years of friendship will prevail.
Through time & distance & love avail
Laughter & sadness & love abound
Not here but forever in my heart.
Heaven & friendship will provide a “tipple” never fear!
Dear Dirk:
Drew and I send our condolences. Eva’s irrepressible spirit and beauty live on in her art and in the hearts of all who knew her.
Big hugs to you,
Lynne and Drew

Sorry to learn about Eva’s passing. We saw each other when visiting Gerry. My condolences to Derk and other family members.
