And they&#8217;re so beautiful when they start to decay, it&#8217;s always fascinated me. You walk around the bush, it&#8217;s a whole exhibition there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Australia is very, very close to my heart\u2026 I used to come back a lot and I always loved Australia. Every time I fly in, I think, oh yeah, I&#8217;m home&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eva now paints primarily from her home studio, &#8220;basically, the whole place is a studio,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Bellarine has long been her creative and personal haven. She bred horses here, raised her four sons, and still teaches riding lessons.<\/p>\n<p>She said horses have played a significant role across her whole life. &#8220;When you work in advertising, you need real life,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Coming home to the farm, to the horses &#8211; it&#8217;s a kind of meditation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Surrounded by paintings and drawings from across her lifetime, Eva said the artworks &#8220;feel like children.&#8221; Whilst it can be hard to let them go, she said she loves seeing her artworks find a new life in people&#8217;s homes.<\/p>\n<p>Eva has continued to find new inspiration for her artworks, including a series of landscapes inspired by a recent trip to South Africa.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Eva_Nauckhoff-5_05961.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Metamorphosis, Eva&#8217;s most recent exhibition, displayed works from a multitude of collections, examining the phases, experiences and changes she has experienced in her life.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s unlike any place on Earth,&#8221; she said. &#8220;There&#8217;s so much to paint &#8211; it&#8217;s really fantastic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For aspiring artists, she offers simple but passionate advice. &#8220;Look at things, and study, study, study,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Do life drawing as much as possible &#8211; or draw sculptures if you can&#8217;t do live models. And know the old masters. Go back and learn what made their work last.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said these artists whose work has stood the test of time are a perfect opportunity to learn, encouraging people to start by copying what these artists have already done.<\/p>\n<p>She recalled a friend who, in learning to illustrate, had copied every one of Michelangelo&#8217;s drawings. &#8220;Drew through the whole of Michelangelo&#8217;s works, page, by page, by page, copy, copy, copy.
