Building on her background in textile art, Eva Ennist has continued to learn and explore a range of art disciplines including papermaking, concrete sculpture, bronze casting, metal arts, encaustic painting, and printmaking. Her extensive travels in North and Central America, Europe and Southeast Asia and her participation in international residence programs in India and Estonia continue to have a significant influence on her art practice.

Ennist’s encaustic paintings, mixed media assemblages and sculptures have been exhibited in public and private galleries and artist run centres in Canada and abroad. Her work is included in many private and corporate collections and she has been awarded numerous grants to create and exhibit her work.

Ennist was a faculty member at OCAD University in Toronto for over 30 years, teaching a variety of courses in the Material Art & Design Program. She has found great satisfaction in leading workshops to students at all levels, from grade one to seniors. Ennist retired from teaching to pursue a fulltime art practice in 2013, and she lives and works in beautiful Prince Edward County.
