ABOUT EVIE CAHIR
From early training in life-drawing and plein-air painting, Evie developed a sensitivity to the way pigment behaves on raw surfaces—how colour moves, settles and shifts with changing light. This instinct underpins her process today: slow staining, translucent washes, and colour absorbed into fabric like breath into cloth.
Her work has been exhibited at Ballarat Art Gallery, Castlemaine Art Museum and Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf in Sydney. Evie has undertaken international residencies, including Arteles in Finland and the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts in Greece—where she began the staining method central to "Home Words I'.
She is a multi-award finalist, including Hazlehurst (2025), Stanthorpe (2024), Elaine Bermingham (2023) and the Len Fox (2022), and in 2025 is artist-in-residence at the Billilla Historic Mansion in Brighton, working from a restored horse stable.
THE WORK
'Home Words I' sits within BENNY’S—a series shaped by light, memory and stillness, developed during Evie’s residency at the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts on a Greek Island and continued on her return to Melbourne.
With no art stores on the island, she sourced king-sized bedsheets from a local resident and hand-stained them in thin layers, watching as pigment absorbed into cloth and shifted with Mediterranean light, heat and salt-air humidity.
Returning to Melbourne, she continued the practice—capturing a memory from a bush walk through Kew as sunlight filtered through trees at dusk. The work distills that moment: warmth, stillness, shadow and movement, suspended in layered strokes.
The works were then exhibited to the public in Evie Cahir’s solo presentation at the Art Gallery of Ballarat.
