My Philosophy on Art...

        I am a  Twenty First Century Artist,  working in a multitude of mediums, each connected through the common thread of art.  A  "Provocateur of the Imagination", my curiosity energizes the journey of living in a society where one's ability to multi-task is not only three dimensional in reality, but continually satisfying in the quest to experience an exciting and vibrant life. 

 
        My fine art dioramas are my interpretation of a Twenty First Century Nature fast disappearing. They are re-creations of a time and place that is encapsulated, protected, safe.  This "emotional memory" is what I share with you. A world where beauty is longed for  and one's senses create a new truth of the natural experience. It is a virtual reality where memory becomes stronger than truth.

     My love of libraries and books led me to a project dear to my heart. 
"The American Nature Book" is a nationwide gift of thanks to public libraries and librarians for their relentless dedication to the act of imbibing in one's curiosity to learn. I began this project in 2002, and since have created many art works for libraries, still many more to come. The institution of the Public Library is truly the embodiment of the  American Spirit. The ability to better one's life simply by opening a book and reading will always hold magic, wonderment, and possibilities.

The interjection of art as a tool for emotional content is an integral part in accomplishing the goals of a successful business. An environment of "visual vitamins" brings the element of unexpected freshness to a space.  Projects include clothing boutiques, restaurants, banquet facilities, and residential. Past awards include American's Coolest Stores 2006 Award , Instore Magazine.     Eve J. Alfille Gallery and Studio, Evanston, Illinois.   WWW.Evejewelry.com

       Montana Dreamwear  is my contemporary western couture website.  A collection of clothing and accessories, each painstakingly made by hand, I have attempted to captured the rugged pristine beauty of Montana in a European style of design. My inspiration comes from vast big skies, clear stream waters,  panoramic vistas of the Rocky Mountains, the delicate colors of wild flowers, sagebrush smells, and the natural good of the people who inhabit this part of our country.
