I’ve been a fan of Eva’s work for some time, and I had the great fortune to get to know her a few months ago during an advocacy trip with March Fourth in Washington, D.C. It quickly became clear that the Eva you see online is exactly who she is in person: kind, fun, effervescent, and with impeccable taste. I already knew Eva was a lover of the arts, and her recent line with BenchMade Modern only deepened my admiration. I’m thrilled she took the time to curate an edit featuring works by our artists, and I know you’ll love her perspective as much as I do.

"I've been an art lover all my life– and I've been collecting nearly as long!" –Eva

Eva Amurri is a Lifestyle Blogger, Designer, Entrepreneur, and Actress. She started her brand Happily Eva After nearly a decade ago, as a way to share her love of style, food, entertaining, and interior design– as well as her role as a Mom of 3. Eva launched a seating collection with BenchMade Modern this year– the culmination of a lifelong obsession with home design and the search for perfectly chic (and indestructible) furniture that holds up to family life. Eva delights in sharing the Good, the Bad, and the Funny of life, love, and parenting on her social channels!
"I'm a firm believer in unique art being the ultimate finishing touch to your living spaces– and making them truly feel like home. I enjoy thoughtfully building my art collection so that each piece I own, and display in my home, has a special story and meaning behind it. These pieces become like heirlooms for my kids– I love how they each have favorites, and create their own connections to them! The right piece of art really can spark immense amounts of joy. In terms of interior design, a great piece of art can transform a room, and bring a design from good to spectacular. I love the idea that the same passion and intention that was imbued in a piece by the artist can be carried into your space and bring such great energy. I'm so excited to be curating this selection of pieces for the gallery because I think Liz represents the best things about the art world: passion, style, groundedness, humor, elegance, and just the right amount of cheekiness. Her taste, and her understanding of the works she features are impeccable. I absolutely adore all that she has built and continues to stand for!" –Eva Amurri
