Raining Day (2008) Sculpture by Evelyn Reinprecht

A native of Brazil, I studied art at the Federal Arts University in Goiania and has a degree in Plastic Arts from the Faculdade de Artes Santa Marcelina in Sao Paulo. This multi-disciplined program included ceramics, theater, painting, singing, music and dancing. I studied physical education at the University Estadual de Goias with the goal of incorporating movement into her art. In Brazil I was planning on teaching children art and expression through the many different aspects of art.

I believe in finding the usefulness in what others discard. I use corrugated cardboard, light bulbs, aluminum, foil, pans, bubble wrap, straws, small stones, tissue paper, ribbon, wire, shoe boxes, and magazine pages, among other discarded materials, in her lively and colorful works.
